Default 496 fault codes-need help!

Can anyone help me with the following...I have an '04 496 in my Baja that recently started giving me 2 beeps every minute or so. I have the rinda scanner that showed the following active codes:
191-FUEL LVL2 CKT H
118-STEER CKT HI
75-FUEL ULC CKT HI
94-PITOT CKT LO

I need a starting place to try and diagnose and then fix what is wrong. Hope someone has some insight so I can get back on the water! Thanks

Most likely those faults are default from not having a full array of Smartcraft sensors on,
IE; fuel tank level sensor
Rudder position sensor
speedo sensor (pitot)
etc.

Th fuel ULC code has my attention though.
FYI high usually means open circuit
I am not familiar with and I don't have my manuals around on a weekend.

If you are getting beeps try looking for another fault other than those 4 while the motor is running and the alarm is sounding.
I haven't used the Rinda tool. I just use the Merc CDS

Thanks for the info. Is it likely that a sensor wire came off? I need to find a list of the codes and possible reasons why or items to check what might be bad.

The connectors are really pretty foolproof, get your meter out and check sensors compared with service manual.

Is there a place where I can find out what are possible issues specific to these codes? A list of the codes with the specifics of each is what i need. I wouldn't know where to start with what sensors even though I do have the service manual.
