Operation Test
1. Disconnect the solenoid from the main wiring
harness.
2. Connect the positive lead of a 12V battery power
source to the solenoid coil positive lead or termi-
nal (pin A) and the negative lead of the 12V bat-
tery power source to the solenoid coil negative
lead or terminal (pin B).
There should be continuity between the large ter-
minals while the battery source is connected, and
no continuity when the battery source is discon-
nected.
STARTER MOTOR
Press the engine start button. On ATVs, the addi-
tional step of turning the ignition key ON and pulling
in the clutch lever is required before pressing the
start button.
The starter motor is normal if the engine turns over
when the start button is pressed.
If the engine does not turn over:
- Check for loose battery cables or open circuit in
battery cables.
- Check for loose solenoid terminals or connectors
- Test the solenoid operation
3. Disconnect the positive cable from the positive
starter terminal. 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. Test for 12V (+)
voltage between the starter cable and ground.
There should be 12V (+) when the button is
pressed.
If no voltage is found and the solenoid is OK,
check the vehicle wiring harness starting circuits
for short or open circuits. Consult the vehicle wir-
ing diagram.
If voltage is present, go to next step.
4. Connect the starter motor positive terminal
directly to the vehicle battery positive terminal
with a heavy lead similar in size to starter motor
harness cable.
If the starter motor turns, check the vehicle wiring
harness starting circuits for short or open circuits.
Consult the vehicle wiring diagram.
If the starter motor does not turn, confirm that the
engine can be turned over manually. If the engine
does not turn over manually, there is a internal
engine problem. Take corrective action.
If the engine turns over manually, the starter is
damaged; replace it.
FUSES
When a fuse blows repeatedly, it usually indicates a
short circuit or current overload in the electrical
system. The problem could be intermittent or con-
stant.
1. To inspect the fuse, remove the fuse from the
holder and inspect it.
WARNIN
G
Use only specified fuse rating. An electri-
cal fire or vehicle damaged can result if a
fuse rating other than specified is used.
Using other materials in place of the fuse
will cause damage to system.
