ENGINE STOP SWITCH (ATV)
1. Disconnect the engine stop switch from the main
harness.
2. Slide the switch to the RUN position. There
should be continuity between the two switch
leads.
3. Slide the switch to the OFF position. There should
be no continuity.
CLUTCH LEVER SWITCH (ATV)
1. Disconnect the clutch switch connector from the
switch body.
2. Test for continuity between the switch terminals.
There should be no continuity.
3. Pull in the clutch lever and test for continuity
between the switch terminals. There should be
continuity.
KEY SWITCH
1. Disconnect the key switch connectors from the
main harness.
2. Rotate the key to the OFF position.
Set the multi meter to Ohms. Test for continuity
between any of the switch leads. There should be
no continuity between any of the leads.
3. Rotate the key to the ON position. There should
be continuity between the green and violet leads.
There should be no continuity between the yellow
lead and the green or violet.
Rotate the switch to the “ON w/ Lights” position.
There should be continuity between all leads.
STARTER SOLENOID
Dynamic Test - Solenoid Function
1. Press the engine start button. On ATVs, the
additional step of turning the ignition key ON and
pulling in the clutch lever is required before
pressing the start button.
The solenoid is normal if the solenoid clicks when
the start button is pressed.
If you do not hear a “CLICK”, go to the next test.
Static Test - Harness Voltage
1. Disconnect the solenoid from the main wiring
harness.
2. On ATVs, turn the ignition key ON and pull in the
clutch lever.
Set multi meter to DCV 20V range and connect
the positive meter lead to connector pin A; con-
nect the negative meter lead to connector pin B.
Press the engine start button. The reading should
be same as battery voltage (12.5 to 13.0Vdc).
If no voltage is detected, check the main fuse.
If the main fuse is OK, check the starting circuit
for an open or short circuit. Take corrective action.
Consult the vehicle wiring diagram.
3. Set multi meter to Ohms. Connect the positive
meter lead to solenoid connector harness pin B
and the negative meter lead to ground. There
should be continuity.
If an open circuit is detected, consult the vehicle
wiring diagram.
Static Test - Resistance
1. Disconnect the solenoid from the main wiring
harness.
2. Measure the resistance of the solenoid coil at the
harness connector.
