"Service Required" after changing the batteries

Otherwise the only way to find out what the code is and to clear it is to hookup a computer with marine service software like rinda diacom. If you have a good indmar dealer in the area (supra,moomba,malibu,mastercraft) it is likely best to take it there to get it taken care of. Sometimes a bad exhaust temp sensor or even a bad speed/temp/depth triducer will cause this (or a number of other things). You won't know until you get it checked out.
I have a 2008 Launch V21, I just replaced the batteries and the display is now showing a "Service Requires" I read that a way to reset the code is to run "3 heat/cooldown cycles (engine runs above 150 deg then below 100 deg, 3 times)", can someone please walk me through on how to run the cycles. Is it just to run the boat until it gets to 150 deg shut off and then let it cool down and run it again, and so on for 3 times? Thanks!
