Allen Wrenches
Use Allen or setscrew wrenches (Figure
11) on fasteners with hexagonal
recesses in the fastener head. These
wrenches are available in L-shaped
bar, Socket and T-handle types. A
metric set is required when working on
most UTV’s. Allen bolts are sometimes
called socket bolts.
Torque Adapters
Torque adapters or extensions extend
or reduce the reach of a torque wrench.
The torque adapter,(Figure 13), is used
to tighten a fastener that cannot be
reached because of the size of the
torque wrench head, drive, and socket.
If a torque adapter changes the effective
lever length the torque reading on the
wrench will not equal the actual torque
applied to the fastener. It is necessary to

methods of reading the torque value are
the deflecting beam, the dial indicator

torque wrench is a precision tool that
must be properly cared for to remain
accurate. Store torque wrenches in their
case or separate padded drawers within
a toolbox. Follow the manufacturer’s
instructions for their care and

BLEEDING THE HYDRAULIC BRAKE SYSTEM
Warning:
Bleed the brake system if any of the following have occurred.
• The system has been disassembled.
• The brake hose or brake lines have been loosened or removed.
• The brake fluid has been very low.
• The brake operation has been faulty
1. Locate the brake fluid reservoir. Clean and remove the Master Cylinder reservoir cap.
2. Add the proper brake fluid to the reservoir.
3. The Bleeding process must be performed in the following order, starting with the right rear.
Note: Always start with the caliper that is furthest from the master cylinder. Failure
to follow the procedure in this order may lead to improper brake bleeding causing
the brakes to feel “soft” or malfunction.
4. Connect a clear ¼” I.D. plastic hose (1) to the caliper bleed screw ( 2).
5. Place the other end of the hose into a suitable catch container.
6. Place an 8mm box wrench on the bleeder valve. Ensure there is enough room to rotate the
box wrench to the left to open the bleeder valve.

7. Two technicians are required for the following steps. Technician #1 should be located at
the caliper. Technician #2 should be sitting in the vehicle to pump the brakes.
8. Have Technician #2 slowly press and release the brake pedal 3 times. At the end of the
3rd depression, the pedal should be held as if the brakes were applied. Technician #2
must inform Technician #1 the brake pedal is being held.
9. Technician #1 should open the bleeder valve at this time and allow the brake fluid to flow
into the bottle. Technician#1 must watch the brake fluid passing through the clear hose for
any bubbles. NOTE: If No Brake Fluid Is Flowing, Proceed to “Procedure If No Fluid Is
Passing Through The Right Rear Caliper”, Step 20.
10. Technician #2 must hold the pedal to the floor and inform Technician #1 that the pedal is
on the floor.
11. At this time Technician #1 must close the bleeder valve by rotating it to the right as far as it
was turned to the left to ensure the bleeder valve is fully closed.
12. Technician #1 needs to inform Technician #2 that the bleeder valve is closed and to repeat
the brake pedal pumping procedure.
13. Repeat Steps 8 through 12 until only brake fluid, with no bubbles, passes through the clear
hose. CAUTION: Allowing the reservoir to get low on brake fluid will cause air in the
system. The Master Cylinder Reservoir Should Be Filled After Every 3rd Bleed
Procedure With Clean DOT 3 Brake Fluid.
14. When only new, clean brake fluid passes through the clear hose three (3) consecutive
times, close the bleeder valve and install the rubber boot.
15. Repeat Steps 4 through 14 on the left rear caliper, then proceed to Step 16.
16. Repeat Steps 4 through 14 on the right front caliper, then proceed to Step 17.
17. Repeat Steps 4 through 14 on the left front caliper, then proceed to Step 18.
18. Make sure the Master Cylinder is full of DOT 3 brake fluid to the fill line and install the
reservoir cap.
19. Have Technician #2 check the brake pedal by slowly pumping the pedal 10 times to ensure
the pressure holds.

22. If brake fluid flows after three (3) consecutive times, proceed to Step 3 through 19 for the
“Brake System Bleed Procedure”.
23. If fluid does not flow after five (5) attempts at the right front caliper, close the bleeder valve
and move to the left front caliper.
24. Perform the brake bleeding procedure on the left front caliper as described in Steps 4
through 14 until brake fluid flows.
25. If brake fluid flows after three (3) consecutive times, proceed to Step 3 through 19 for the
“Brake System Bleed Procedure”.
26. If brake fluid does not flow after 5 attempts, replace the master cylinder and start with Step
1 of the “Master Cylinder Bleed Procedure” then Follow Steps 1 through 19 of the “Brake

Whenever performing any type of electrical test it is very important to start off
with a known good Battery! Check the charge State of the Battery. It needs to be
fully charged.
The lead acid battery is the most common in the industry. There are a couple of things
that affect the lifespan of the battery. Heat and state of charge are the two biggest
factors in how long a battery survives. The typical lifespan of a lead acid battery is 1 to 2
years but if maintained with a battery tender they can survive longer.
The maintenance free battery is a sealed battery and is usually a Gel type or a Glass
Mat battery. The term maintenance free means that nothing should be added to the
battery. These Batteries still need to be kept at their fullest state of charge in order to
get the most life out of them. The typical Lifespan for a maintenance free battery is 3 to
4 years again depending on if it has been kept at its fullest state of charge.
Note: Improper charging will adversely affect the lifespan of the Battery.
6‐3
Electrical
Warnings:
• Wear eye protection, Eye shield or safety glasses with side shields.
• Charge batteries in a well-ventilated area.
• Keep batteries away from sparks or fire, open flames. (Welding
equipment, grinding equipment, Cigarette smoking etc.)
• Do Not Smoke when charging or handling a battery.
• Keep batteries and electrolyte out of the reach of children.
• Avoid body contact with electrolyte as it can cause severe burns and or
permanent eye damage.
Installing a battery into the UTV, always connect the Positive terminal first then
the negative terminal. This is to help prevent any type of spark. Reverse this for
removal from the UTV.
Always use a charger that will charge at a rate 1/10 the amp hour rating of the battery. It
is also a good idea to use a charger that will not overcharge, or shuts off when it
reaches a full charge.
Higher rates of charge have a chance of warping the plates inside the battery and
diminishing its lifespan. In other words a quick charge is not good for the battery.

Engine Management System
Layout of EMS Components
COMPONENTS OF EMS
• The ECU continuously monitors the operating conditions of the engine through
the system sensors. It also provides the necessary computation, adaptability, and
output control in order to minimize the tailpipe emissions and fuel consumption,
while optimizing vehicle drivability for all operating conditions. The ECU also
provides diagnosis when system malfunctions occur.
• Handling
• This is the electrical brain for the UV. Because of this it requires special
handling. Do not subject this unit to excessive heat, water, mud or debris.
Do not clean it with solvents or corrosive liquids. Improper care or handling can
cause ECU failure and or loss of performance.
• The ECU is a non-serviceable part. Once there are problems, it’s important to
first determine if the problem is caused by software/calibration. If it is caused by
software/calibration, please refer to
7‐2
Engine Management System
• This is a critical part to the fuel delivery on the UV, therefore there are things
you should not do when working with a fuel injector. Do not reuse injector seal
rings, dip injector tips into lubricants, cycle injectors repeatedly without fuel
pressure, pulse a high leak rate injector, allow water into the fuel system,
contact or apply load to the injector tip, use a dropped unit, pound on injectors
during assembly into the manifold, store injectors or assemblies in an
unprotected environment.
• Things to do when handling fuel injectors. Use the proper lubricant on the seal
ring when installing, pulse actuate a stuck closed injector (5 sec at 9 – 15V),
pulse activate prior to a dry fuel system leak test to seat the injectors, Return any
dropped or damaged injector with a tag describing the problem (warranty cases
only).
3) Installation guidelines
Follow these guidelines to prevent damage to the injector and its electrical
interface during the replacement or installation process.
• Lubrication: Apply a light coating of lubricant to the lower injector seal ring. ISO
10 light mineral oil or equivalent is recommended.
• The preferred technique is to apply the lubricant to the sockets, the injectors are
being installed into, rather than directly to the seal ring itself. This will help
minimize the possibility of injector contamination.
7‐3
Engine Management System
• Avoid applying lubricant over the director plate holes – this may restrict injector
flow. Do not dip the injector tip in lubricant.
• Multec 3.5 injectors come from the factory with the seal rings attached. The re-
use of seal rings is not preferred when replacing an injector. If an injector is to be
re-used, and no new seal rings are available, take care to inspect each seal ring
for signs of damage. Even minor defects in the seal ring can lead to leakage.
Take extra care in installing seal ring over flange of injector inlet.
• Carefully installing the harness connector will prevent terminal damage. Listen for
a positive audible click from the connector retention device — this ensures that it
is fully engaged. Shut off ignition.
• Disconnect negative battery cable to avoid possible fuel discharge if an
accidental attempt is made to start the engine.
• Disconnect the electrical connector from the injector wiring harness.
• Relieve fuel pressure
• Remove the retaining clip from the fuel injector.
• Remove the fuel line connection from the injector
• Carefully clean debris from the interface surfaces. Do not damage seal mating
surfaces.
• Remove the injector from the manifold
• Apply a light coating of a lubricant to both the upper and lower injector seal ring
of the replacement injector.
• Install the new injector into the manifold. Check that the injector is installed in the
original orientation to maintain proper spray targeting, and that the retaining clip
is properly seated on the injector and the fuel line
• Install the retaining clip after connecting the fuel line
• Tighten the injector mounting to the desired torque as mentioned in
this manual
• Tighten the fuel line
• Re-install the injector electrical connector
• Check for fuel leaks with the key “on” and the engine “off”
• Start engine and verify proper operation.
7‐4
Engine Management System
Warning:
The injector and all associated hardware may be extremely hot.
5) Plugging
Fuel deposits cause plugging resulting in flow shifts over the life of the injector. Fuel
varnish or gumming, a type of injector deposit, is created when certain types of fuel are
heated by high injector tip temperatures at soak (no fuel flow). Deposit build up in the
director holes cause the flow shifts.
• Plugging can cause flow restrictions, frictional changes and the collection of other
particles attracted by the tacky surface. The flow restrictions can degrade
emissions and drivability.
• Other fuel and environmental conditions may cause crystal or corrosion growth in
the injector and cause a flow shift.
• Oxidation stability of the gasoline affects the potential for deposit formation and
must be controlled by the fuel supplier.
• Increased levels of detergent additives reduce the rate of injector plugging.
7‐5
Engine Management System
• Electrically disable the fuel pump by removing the fuel pump connection.
• Relieve the fuel pressure in the system and disconnect the fuel connection at the
injector. Plug the fuel feed line.
• Injector cleaner with the specific ratio of the cleaner and gasoline to be mixed in
the Injector cleaning tank.
• Connect the injector-cleaning tank to injector in the vehicle.
• Pressurize the injector-cleaning tank to system pressure.
• Start and idle the engine for 15- 20minutes.
• Disconnect the injector-cleaning tank from the system and install the fuel pump
connections. Connect the fuel feed line to injector.
• Start and idle the vehicle for an additional 2 minutes to ensure the residual
injector cleaner is flushed from system.
Handling
Use care when handling or storing a throttle body assembly. Think about environment
and packaging when in storage. If the throttle body assembly is dropped or damaged
(under warranty circumstances) return the assembly with a tag that describes the
problem.
7‐6
Engine Management System
Cleaning Procedure
If there is a cover on the bottom, it may be removed and cleaned using carburetor
cleaner (3M make recommended). Once the throttle body cover is removed, spray the
throttle-body cleaner inside the air passage, and use a brush to gently dislodge the dirt,
gum and varnish that may be present. Do not let the bye pass holes be blocked by dirt
or foreign particles.
Precautions
This sensor is used in water cooled engines. It provides a resistance that varies as a
function of temperature within prescribed tolerance limits. The sensor has a negative
temperature coefficient of resistance. This is a non-serviceable part.

Ignition Coil
The coil receives 12v battery power, and a signal from the pickup coil, it then transforms
12v and sends high voltage to the spark plug. This is a non-serviceable component.
Installation Requirements
• The vehicle frame provides the mounting surface and mounting holes.
• Mount the coil close to the spark plug and keep the plug wire short in length
(6 inches or less if possible)
• Mount the coil away from any pickup type devices, especially Crank/Cam sensor,
and route wiring away from these sensors as they can interfere with the signal.
Take care when working with ignition coils, improper handling can cause personal injury
or damage test equipment.
Fuel Pump module consists of Fuel Pump to generate the fuel flow and pressure
regulator to regulate the fuel pressure. This is all in one unit and is a non-serviceable
component.
Service Procedures
Precautions:
Before attempting any service on the fuel system, the following cautions should always
be followed for personal safety and to avoid system damages.
7‐8
Engine Management System
• Make sure to perform work in well-ventilated area and away from any
open fire/flames.
• Wear Safety glasses
• To relieve fuel vapor pressure in fuel tank, remove fuel filler cap and then
reinstall it.
• To relieve pressure in the fuel lines, disconnect the power to the pump, pull the
spark plug boot off the plug and place it away from the plug. Crank the engine to
release the pressure in the lines.
• After servicing, make sure that the fuel hoses and clamps are connected
according to the hose fitment instructions given in vehicle instruction manual.
• Check for any fuel leakage.
• Fill the fuel tank with at least 3 liters of fuel, then turn on the ignition switch to
cycle the pump and prime the system.
7‐9
Engine Management System
• Relieve fuel pressure by disconnecting the power to the pump, pull the spark
plug boot off the plug and place it away from the plug. Crank the engine to
release the pressure in the lines.
Installation
After performing any service on fuel system, check to make sure that there are no fuel
leaks.
Use care when handling the Fuel module, it has electrical components and improper
care could cause a malfunction of the unit.

Engine Management System
When a fault occurrence happens, the odometer's clock will turn into a number, which
is a fault code, find out the cause with this number, press the clock button, then it will
turn back to clock mode, and five second later, the fault code will show again.
7‐11
Troubleshooting
Without any one of these the combustion process cannot take place.
Before any testing be sure you have a known good battery source.
Spark Test
Perform a spark test to determine if the ignition system is producing adequate spark.
This test should be performed with a spark tester. A spark tester looks like a spark plug
with an adjustable gap between the center electrode and grounded base. Because the
voltage required to jump the spark tester gap is sufficiently larger than that of a normally
gapped spark plug, the test results are more accurate than with a spark plug. Do not
assume that because a spark jumped across a spark plug gap, the ignition system is
working correctly. Perform this test on the engine when it is both cold and hot, if
possible. If the test results are positive for each test, the ignition system is working
correctly.
Caution:
After removing the direct ignition coil or spark plug cap and before removing the
spark plug in Step 1, clean the area around the spark plug with compressed air.
Dirt that falls into the cylinder causes rapid engine wear.
1. Disconnect the direct ignition coil or spark plug cap. Check for the presence of water.
2. Visually inspect the spark plug for damage.
3. Connect a spark tester to the direct ignition coil or spark plug cap. Ground the spark
tester base (or spark plug) to a good ground. Position the spark tester or spark plug
firing tip away from the open spark plug hole. Position the spark tester so the
electrode is visible.
Warning:
Mount the spark tester or spark plug away from the spark plug hole in the
cylinder. If the engine is flooded, do not perform this test. The spark tester
can ignite fuel ejected through the spark plug hole.
Warning:
Do not hold the spark tester, spark plug or connector while turning over the
motor or a serious shock may result.
8‐1
Troubleshooting
5. Turn the engine over using the Key switch. A fat blue spark must be evident between
the spark tester or spark plug terminals.
6. If there is a strong, blue spark, the ignition system is functioning properly, Check for
one or more of the following possible malfunctions:
• Faulty fuel system component.
• Flooded engine.
• Engine damage (low compression).
7. If the spark was weak (white or yellow) or if there was no spark, perform the peak
voltage checks described under Ignition System Testing.
Fuel System
The following section isolates common fuel system problems. If there is a good spark,
poor fuel flow may be preventing the correct amount of fuel from being supplied to the
cylinder. Troubleshoot the fuel system as follows:
Note:
If the UV was not used for some time, and was not properly stored, the fuel may
have gone stale. Depending on the condition of the fuel, a no-start condition can
result.
Compression test
Problems with the engine top end will affect engine performance. When the engine is
suspect, perform the leak down and a compression test. Interpret the results as
described in each procedure to troubleshoot the suspect area. An engine can lose
compression through the following areas:
1. Valves:
• Incorrect valve adjustment.
• Incorrect valve timing.
• Worn or damaged valve seat surfaces.
• Bent valves.
• Weak or broken valve springs.

Troubleshooting
2. Cylinder head:
• Loose spark plug or damaged spark plughole.
• Damaged cylinder head gasket.
• Warped or cracked cylinder head.
• Damaged decompression assembly.
Upon completion of these 3 tests you should know which system is in question and the
direction of further testing or repair.
Engine Overheating
(Cooling System)
Warning:
Do not remove the radiator cap, coolant drain plug or disconnect any coolant
hose immediately after or during engine operation. Scalding fluid and steam may
be blown out under pressure and cause serious injury. When the engine has been
operated, the coolant is very hot and under pressure. Attempting to remove these
items when the engine is hot can cause the coolant to spray violently from the
radiator, water pump or hose, causing severe burns and injury.
(Engine)
• Improper spark plug heat range.
• Low oil level.
• Oil not circulating properly.
• Valves leaking.
• Heavy carbon deposits in the combustion chamber.
• Dragging brake(s).
• Slipping clutch.
8‐3
Troubleshooting
Pre-ignition
Pre-ignition is the premature burning of fuel and is caused by hot spots in the
combustion chamber. Glowing deposits in the combustion chamber, inadequate Cooling
or an overheated spark plug can all cause pre-ignition. This is first noticed as a power
loss but eventually causes damage to the internal parts of the engine because of the
high combustion chamber temperature.
Detonation
Detonation is the violent explosion of fuel in the combustion chamber before the proper
time of ignition. Using low octane gasoline is a common cause of detonation.
Even when using a high octane gasoline, detonation can still occur. Other causes are
over-advanced ignition timing, lean air/fuel mixture at or near full throttle, inadequate
engine cooling, or the excessive accumulation of carbon deposits in the combustion
chamber. Continued detonation can result in engine damage.
Engine Noises
Unusual noises are often the first indication of a developing problem. Investigate any
new noises as soon as possible. Something that may be a minor problem, if corrected,
could prevent the possibility of more extensive damage.
Use a mechanic’s stethoscope to isolate the location. Determining the exact cause of a
noise can be difficult. If this is the case, consult with a professional mechanic to
determine the cause. Do not disassemble major components until all other possibilities
have been eliminated.
Consider the following when troubleshooting engine noises:
• Knocking or pinging during acceleration can be caused by using a lower octane
fuel than recommended. This may also be caused by poor fuel. Pinging can also
be caused by an incorrect spark plug heat range or carbon buildup in the
combustion chamber.
• Slapping or rattling noises at low speed or during acceleration—May be caused
by excessive piston-to-cylinder wall clearance (piston slap).
Note:
Piston slap is easier to detect when the engine is cold and before the piston has
expanded. Once the engine has warmed up, piston expansion reduces piston-to-
cylinder clearance.

Troubleshooting
A cylinder leak down test can accurately pinpoint engine leakage problems from the
head gasket, water jackets in the cylinder head and cylinder, valves and valve seats,
and piston rings. This test is performed by applying compressed air to the cylinder
through a special tester and then measuring the percent of leakage. A cylinder leak
down tester and an air compressor are needed to perform this test.
When performing a leak down test, the engine is first set at TDC on its compression
stroke so that all the valves are closed. When the combustion chamber is pressurized,
very little air should escape. However, the difficulty in performing a leak down test on a
single cylinder engine (especially on the engines described in this manual with low static
engine compression) is in preventing the piston from moving as the combustion
chamber starts to pressurize. Any piston movement will force the crankshaft to turn
away from TDC and allow air to escape past an open valve seat. In this procedure it will
be necessary to lock the engine at TDC on its compression stroke and then perform the
leak down test. Follow the manufacturer’s directions along with the following information
when performing a cylinder leak down test.
• Support the UV on a work stand with the rear wheels off the ground.
• Remove the air filter assembly Open and secure the throttle so it is at its wide-
open position.
• Remove the sparkplug.
• Install the threaded hose adapter from the leak down kit. Then install the leak
down gauge onto the hose.
• Remove the ignition timing hole cap from the left crankcase cover.
• Remove the crankshaft hole cap from the right crankcase cover.
• Remove the fan housing and fan from the right side of the engine.
Note:
Because the following test is performed with the cylinder head cover installed on
the engine, the camshaft lobes cannot be viewed to ensure that the engine is
positioned at TDC on its compression stroke. To determine when the engine is
approaching TDC on its compression stroke, or whether it is 360°off. Observe the
following two indicators to predict engine position. First, when aligning the index
8‐5
Troubleshooting
marks in Step7, listen for pressure building inside the combustion chamber,
indicating that the piston is moving to TDC on its compression stroke. Second,
view the gauge on the leak down tester when turning the engine. As the piston
moves toward TDC on its compression stroke, compression building inside the
combustion chamber may cause the gauge needle to move slightly. If the
crankshaft is 360°off, these indicators will not be present.
Note:
The decompression mechanism will click loudly once during each
crankshaft revolution. This is normal.
• Use hex socket on the fan hub mounting bolt and turn the crankshaft clockwise
and align the TDC mark on the flywheel with the index mark on the left
crankcase cover
• Remove the hex socket from the primary drive gear.
• Perform the following to lock the transmission so the engine remains at TDC on
its compression stroke when performing the leak down test:
Warning:
Do not attempt to lock the engine by trying to use a tool to hold the Allen bolt on
the end of the crankshaft. Once the combustion chamber becomes pressurized,
any crankshaft movement can throw the tool away from the engine under
considerable force, attempting to hold the tool can cause serious injury. Engine
damage may also occur to the crankshaft or right crankcase cover. Lock the
engine as described in this procedure.
• Turn the drive sprocket by hand and shift the transmission into top gear with the
shift lever.
• Mount a holding tool or equivalent onto the fan hub. Use a wooden block and
clamp to hold the holding tool so it cannot move when the combustion
chamber becomes pressurized. Using a long breaker bar and securing it
against the engine frame is an example.
• Check that the TDC marks are still aligned as described in Step7, if not, turn the
crankshaft as required, then relock the holding tool in position.
• Remove the radiator cap and the oil filler cap.
• Perform a cylinder leak down test by applying air pressure to the combustion
chamber.
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions while reading the percent of leakage on the
gauge. Listen for air leaking while noting the following:
Note:
Because of play in the transmission gears, it is unlikely the engine will stay at
TDC on the first try. If the crankshaft turns, reposition the countershaft slightly
and then relock it in position with the holding tool. After several attempts, you
will get a feel of the transmission play and know what direction the countershaft
should be turned and locked.
8‐6
Troubleshooting
Note:
If a large amount of air escapes from the exhaust pipe or through the throttle
body, the air is leaking through on open valve, Check the index mark to make
sure the engine is at TDC on the compression stroke, If the engine is remaining at
TDC but there is still a large amount of air escaping from the engine, the
crankshaft is off one revolution. Turn the engine 360°and realign the TDC mark as
described in Step 7, then relock it as described in Step8.
• Air leaking through the exhaust pipe indicates a leaking exhaust valve.
• Air leaking through the intake tract indicates a leaking intake valve.
• Air leaking through both the intake and exhaust valves indicates the engine is
not set at TDC on its compression stroke.
• Air leaking through the coolant filler neck indicates a leaking cylinder head
gasket or a cracked cylinder head or cylinder liner.
• Air leaking through the oil filler hole indicates the rings are not sealing properly in
the bore.
• If the cylinder leak down is 10 percent or higher, further service is required.
• Disconnect the test equipment and install all the parts previously removed.
Electrical Testing
Refer to the color wiring diagrams at the end of the manual for component and
connector identification; Use the wiring diagrams to determine how the circuit should
work by tracing the current paths from the power source through the circuit components
to ground. Also, check any circuits that share the same fuse (if used), ground or switch.
If the other circuits work properly and the shared wiring is good, the cause must be in
the wiring used only by the suspect circuit. If all related circuits are faulty at the same
time, the probable cause is a poor ground connection or a blown fuse (if used).
As with all troubleshooting procedures, analyze typical symptoms in a systematic
manner. Never assume anything and do not overlook the obvious like a blown fuse or
an electrical connector that has separated. Test the simplest and most obvious items
first and try to make tests at easily accessible points on the UTV.
Before starting any electrical troubleshooting, perform the following:
8‐7
Troubleshooting
• Make sure all terminals within the connector are clean and free of corrosion.
Clean them. If necessary. And pack the connectors with dielectric grease
• Push the connectors with dielectric grease together so that they are fully
engaged and locked together. Too much dielectric grease can create a
hydro-lock and make it difficult to assemble the connectors.
• Never pull the electrical wires when disconnecting an electrical connector-pull
only on the connector.
Intermittent Problems
Intermittent problems are problems that do not occur all the time and can be difficult to
locate. For example. When a problem only occurs when the UV is ridden over rough
roads (vibration) or in wet conditions (water penetration), it is intermittent. To locate and
repair intermittent problems, simulate the condition when testing the components. Note
the following:
Caution:
A heat gun or hair dryer will quickly raise the heat of the component being tested.
Do not apply heat directly to the ICM or use heat in excess of 60℃ (140℉) on any
electrical component. If available, monitor heat with an infrared thermometer.
8‐8
Electrical component replacement
Most UV dealerships and parts suppliers will not accept the return of any electrical part.
If you can’t determine the exact cause of any electrical system malfunction, then you
purchase a new electrical component(s), install it, and then find that the system still
does not work properly, you will probably be unable to return the unit for a refund.
Consider any test results carefully before replacing a component that tests only slightly
out of specification, especially resistance. A number of variables can affect test results
dramatically. These include: the testing meter’s internal circuitry, ambient temperature
and conditions under which the machine has been operated. All instructions and
specifications have been for accuracy: however. Successful test results depend to a
great degree upon individual accuracy.
ECU unit
This is the brain for the UV. The ECU controls all the electrical and motor systems on
the UV. It sends out voltage to the sensors which use the voltage to measure
something. In their processing of the measurement they use up some of the voltage
that was sent, the remainder of voltage is read by the ECU, this reading tells the ECU
exactly what measurement the sensor got and the ECU adjusts fuel delivery
accordingly. There are very few tests for the ECU. Test all the sensors and if everything
else tests properly, re flash the ECU. If this does not fix the problem replacement of the
ECU is necessary.
Re flash procedure.
Set the Parking Brake. Make sure the shift lever is in the neutral position. Start the UV.
With your foot on the Brake, push down the accelerator pedal slowly to the floor. The
motor will peak until the rpm’s reach the rev limiter. Keep your foot on the accelerator
pedal while turning off the ignition. Once the motor comes to a complete stop you can
release the accelerator pedal. Wait approximately 15 seconds and you should be able
to turn the ignition key to the on position and fault codes should be gone.
