How Jaltest Marine Calibrates Mercury DTS…

When it comes to modern marine engines, precision is everything. The Mercury Digital Throttle & Shift (DTS) system is a cutting-edge electronic control technology that replaces traditional mechanical cables, offering smoother control and quicker response times. However, after engine servicing or component replacements, recalibrating the DTS system is essential to ensure optimal performance.

This is where Jaltest Marine steps in as the game-changing diagnostic solution.

🌑️ Why Mercury DTS Calibration Is Essential

A poorly calibrated DTS system can lead to throttle lag, unstable idle, or even failure to shift gears properly. These symptoms not only disrupt navigation but also pose safety risks. Whenever there is:

  • An ECU update,
  • A throttle body replacement,
  • A throttle motor service,

…calibration is no longer optional. It’s critical.

πŸ”§ Mercury DTS Calibration Tutorial with Jaltest Marine

1. Connect Jaltest Marine to the Engine ECU
Using the appropriate marine connector, connect to the Mercury engine’s diagnostic port. Jaltest automatically identifies the engine and DTS version.
