To complete and run an outboard engine the oil warning module must be a part of it. And if you're not familiar with the oil warning module, it is a small black box on starboard side of outboard motor with 5 wires coming out of it. You will find it below the starter or the temperature sending unit back by the spark plugs.
If you experience an alarm sounds when you turned on your boat engine that means an oil warning module is defective. If the sounds continuously happen. Try using this simple troubleshooting:
1. Disconnect the two White/Blue sensor wires from the oil warning module and retest.
2. If the horn stops, the sensor in the oil tank is likely bad.
3. If the horn still sounds, disconnect the Tan wire from the module and see if the horn now stops sounding. If the warning horn sounds with the two White/Blue sensor wires disconnected, but stops when the Tan wire is disconnected, the oil warning module is defective.
