The M/OEI will trigger a fault if the 'OEI MGT limit' is exceeded on start. The aircraft will start properly, and the abort function will still work (and work well) using the START limits.

Two methods of dealing with this for now.....vent the engine before starting if residual is high...
or have maintenance erase the fault code after. It is a nuisance code, and flight with it annunciated is not an issue, provided the pilot checks the exceedance and verifies that it is only the OEI limits that have been busted.

Next software revision addresses this. Hope this answers your question.
