How to Clear a Maintenance Light Warning on a 2002 Seadoo GTX

The 2002 Sea-Doo GTX is equipped with an electronic maintenance light, just like the check-engine light on a car's dashboard. When it comes on, it's telling you something is amiss. After you resolve the problem, you must clear the light so it's ready to alert you to the next problem. Clearing the light requires you to gain access to the programming in the Multipurpose Electronic Module, or MPEM. To do this, you need a "black box" -- called the MPEM Programmer -- to communicate with the Sea-Doo.
