Vessel View faults

I received these faults while out this last weekend from my Vessel View.  I just had the boat out for service and engine was removed as well as the drive.  Boat ran fantastic and drive trimmed as normal.  After doing a little homework I find that 4 out of the 5 faults are found amongst others using Vessel View.  If your so inclined, read the forum page.  Do you think these are related to work or just bad faults?  The trim guage on the boat is not working so unsure if that is related to that fault.

Now there is the steering position fault that I have not found to be an issue amongst other Vessel view users.  From a little research this sensor is for Smartcraft to know your steering position but I dont think I have that capability without the proper equipment.  Is this true?   Thanks for the help.

    Well, I believe all of those faults are ok.  The drive trim one can be changed though, if you want to switch the wire connection over to the digital reading.  I'm trying to remember the specifics, but I know I now can read trim on both my analog dash gauges and on my VV.  The pitot speed I believe is just a setting change over to GPS.  I don't have seawater temp or steering position.

    Pitot pressure, tank level and drive trim faults are normal and can be silenced. The other two are not, or should I say, I have never had those two on my VVM.
