I looked at the rotax maintenance manual and they have a process to test the
throttle sensor, I goy out my ohm meter and did the test. The sensor is def
initely bad. So this makes a lot of sense for the issues I have been having.
Will update when I install the new sensor.

>> The yellow caution light is blinking. The warning lights come on and go o

perly at startup as well. With the engine running the yellow light is not bl
inking at idle but starts to blink at about 2300 rpm and continues as rpms r
ise, go below 2300rpm and the light goes out. With the engine off and the tu
rbo powered up the yellow light also is off at idle throttle setting and if I
advance the throttle the light starts blinking and will stop as I pull back
. So it seems that the throttle sensor is sending a signal to the tcu as it m
oves. But what is the issue? Sensor, tcu, other.

earched this and have seen it discussed but the threads just end with no res
olution, so I know I'm not alone out there.

s adding boost too soon for the throttle setting which also points to the th
rottle sensor.

c in dos! So I can't plug in my pc and test it myself. Anybody know if a don
gle is available and software? Maybe Lockwood or?
