The Raymarine ST8002 Smartpilot the unit powers up but does not work when the auto mode is selected. The hydraulic motor does not engage when a course is set. What could be the source of the fault?
According to a post on the Raymarine forum, this error message could indicate an issue with either the steering, the drive unit, the rudder reference unit (if fitted), or the course computer . The post suggests a few tests that you can do yourself to figure out which item is causing the issue.
I suggest that you try the following steps:
Check the connections between the ST8002 SmartPilot and the other components of your autopilot system.
Check the calibration of the ST8002 SmartPilot and the other components of your autopilot system.
Check the hydraulic fluid level and the hydraulic pump pressure.
Check the hydraulic pump motor and the hydraulic pump solenoid valve.
If none of these steps work, I recommend that you contact Raymarine customer support for further assistance.
