In this video I go over how to install the Yamaha YDS (Yamaha Diagnostic System) software and how to use it. There are a few nuances in getting the software to run correctly, hopefully the tips I cover in this video will help with that. There are a dumber of diagnostic statistics that are available through YDS, both live and stored codes.

I also cover the location of the TDS connector port on the outboard engine, mine is a 2015 F70 but should give you an idea of where it is located on yours.

The software and cables are relatively inexpensive. An added plus to the software is that it comes with a large set of Yamaha shop manuals for various Yamaha outboards.

Here is an affiliate link to a similar software and cable package to the one I used. https://amzn.to/3RuGuwb
