FUEL LINE

Quick Connect Removal / Installation
CAUTION
Verify fuel system has been depressurized
before performing this procedure.
All EFI models use quick connect fuel lines. Refer to the
following steps for fuel line removal / installation:
1. Thoroughly clean the connector and place a shop towel
around the fuel line to catch any dripping fuel.
2. Squeeze the connector tabs together and lift up on the white
retainer. NOTE: Use an O-ring pick or similar tool to
disengage the inner white tab if the fuel tank is installed.
Lift white retainer
before removing
3. Pull out on the fuel line and remove it from the pump outlet.
4. To install the line, verify the connector and fuel pump outlet
are clean and free of debris.
5. Place the connector end over the fuel pump outlet and push
the white retainer and tabs back into place.
NOTE: Confirm attachment by pulling on the fuel line.
6. Repeat this process when removing the fuel line from the
fuel rail.

EFI SERVICE NOTES

For more convenient and accurate testing of EFI components, it
is recommended dealers utilize the Digital Wrench™
Diagnostic Software (dealer only), or limited testing may be
done manually using the procedures provided.
80% of all EFI problems are caused by wiring harness
connections. Follow a common sense approach when
diagnosing a potential EFI issue:
1. Disconnect the harness at the suspected sensor connector.
2. Inspect the connector ends for damage or contamination. If
damaged, repair; if contaminated, clean. Reconnect and
check function.
3. If problem persists, perform a sensor bench test according
to the specific sensor requirements (if applicable).
4. If the sensor bench tests pass, disconnect the connector at
the ECU and perform a continuity check between the sensor
connector and the appropriate pin at the ECU connector (all
connections for that sensor). Wiring resistance should be
less than one (1) ohm.
5. If the resistance is high (or open), a wiring harness
inspection is required (including a thorough inspection of
the ECU connector for contamination or damage).
6. If the sensor passes and the wiring passes inspection, and
reconnecting the ECU does not resolve the issue, then at
that point a known-good ECU (from another Polaris 850)
may be used to test for problem resolution.
