3-44 FUEL SYSTEM (DFI)
Ve hicle-down Sensor (Service Code/Character-31/dOS)
This sensor has a weight [A] with two magnets inside, and
sends a signal to the ECU. But when the w atercraft banks
110 130° or more to either side (in fact falls down), the
weight turns and shuts off the signal. The ECU senses this
change, and stops the fuel pump, the fuel injectors, and the
ignition system.
