TVM:Maintenace Required Fault

[Philip Immoos]

I have a Maxum 2900 SE with 5.0 Bravo lll Axius.
On the Vessel View I have an alarm TVM:Maintenance Required Fault.

Had the service tech look at it but they have no idea.

Can an one help.

Quick Google says this is the module for steering the drive and the fault is related to the pump and motor that provides the steering.

TVM = Thrust Vectoring Module

Yes that's correct the TVM is part of the Axius system. The vessel view showed fault maintenance required. The system works correctly but for the "TVM: Fault Maintenance Required" showing on the vessel view

You need a new mechanic. Maybe one certified for newer Merc technology.

This does not help. As my next service person is 160 km away.

Have you tried googling for a Merc Axius manual? I try when I have some time.

Reading the manual and there is no reference to this fault that assists me. Only to cal the service tech. Sent an email to mercruiser today and we will see.

Good luck and keep us posted on you findings as I am sure it will help others in the future.
