YAMAHA DIAGNOSTIC TOOL

This model uses the Yamaha diagnostic tool to identify malfunctions.

For information about using the Yamaha diagnostic tool, refer to the operation manual that is included with the tool.

  • Yamaha diagnostic tool USB (US)

    90890-03269

  • Yamaha diagnostic tool (A/I)

    90890-03264

A generic scan tool can also be used to identify malfunctions.

  • OBD/ GST Leadwire kit

    90890-03249

CONNECTING THE YAMAHA DIAGNOSTIC TOOL

1.Remove the coupler for connecting setting tool.

2.Connect the FI diagnostic tool sub-lead.

  • FI diagnostic tool sub–lead

    90890-03212

  • FI diagnostic tool sub–lead

    YU-03212

3.Connect the FI diagnostic tool sub-lead to the Yamaha diagnostic tool.

Never connect the sub-lead (special tool) to the battery. Otherwise, because of excessive current flow, the sub-lead can catch fire and the battery could be damaged.

  • Prepare the fully charged 12 V lead battery for yourself.

  • Replace the vehicle battery with a lead battery (12 V).

  • For information on how to connect and use the Yamaha diagnostic tool, refer to “YAMAHA DIAGNOSTIC TOOL OPERATION MANUAL”.
