Handlebar Control Switches - Arctic Cat 2015 XR Service Manual

1. Set the meter selector to the DC Voltage position.
2. Connect the red meter lead to either red wire; then
connect the black meter lead to ground.
3. Meter must show battery voltage.
 NOTE: If the meter shows no battery voltage, trou-
bleshoot the battery or the main wiring harness.
RESISTANCE
 NOTE: Perform this test on the switch using the fol-
lowing procedure.
1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
2. Set the meter selector to the OHMS position.
3. Connect either tester lead to pin C; then connect the
other tester lead to pin D.
4. The meter must show less than 1 ohm.
5. Turn the ignition switch to the LIGHTS position.
6. Connect either tester lead to pin A; then connect the
other tester lead to pin B.
7. The meter must show less than 1 ohm.
8. Connect either tester lead to pin C; then connect the
other tester lead to pin D.
9. The meter must show less than 1 ohm.
10. With the switch in the OFF position, connect the red
tester lead and the black tester lead to each of the
remaining pins. The meter must show an open circuit
on all pins.
 NOTE: If the meter shows more than 1 ohm of resis-
tance, replace the switch.

The connector is the double connector next to the steer-
ing post. To access the connector, the side panels and
console must be removed (see Steering/Frame/Con-
trols).
128
 NOTE: These tests should be made on the switch
side of the connector.
RESISTANCE (HI Beam)
1. Set the meter selector to the OHMS position.
2. Connect the red tester lead to the blue wire; then con-
nect the black tester lead to the brown/black wire.
3. With the dimmer switch in the HI position, the meter
must show less than 1 ohm.
 NOTE: If the meter shows more than 1 ohm of resis-
tance, replace the switch.
RESISTANCE (LO Beam)
1. Connect the red tester lead to the white wire; then
connect the black tester lead to the brown/black wire.
2. With the dimmer switch in the LO position, the
meter must show an open circuit.
 NOTE: If the meter reads resistance, replace the
switch.
DIODE (Starter Button)
 NOTE: If voltage is not as specified, check the con-
CF274A
dition of the battery in the meter prior to replacing the
switch. A low battery will result in a low voltage read-
ing during a diode test.
1. Set the meter selector to the Diode position.
2. Connect the red tester lead to the yellow/red wire;
then connect the black tester lead to the black/white
wire.
3. With the starter button depressed, the meter must
show 0.5-0.7 DC volt.
4. With the starter button released, the meter must show
0 DC volts.
5. Connect the red tester lead to the black/white wire;
then connect the black tester lead to the yellow/red
wire.
6. With the starter button depressed, the meter must
show 0 DC volts.
 NOTE: If the meter does not show as specified,
replace the switch.
RESISTANCE (Engine Stop Switch)
1. Set the meter selector to the OHMS position.
2. Connect the red tester lead to the brown/blue wire;
then connect the black tester lead to the black/white
wire.
3. With the switch in the OFF position, the meter must
show an open circuit.
4. With the switch in the RUN position, the meter must
show less than 1 ohm.
