Drive Select Switch; Front Differential Actuator System; Stator Coil - Arctic Cat 2015 XR Service Manual

 NOTE: If the meter shows more than 1 ohm of resis-
tance, replace the switch.
RESISTANCE (Reverse Override)
The connector is the four-prong white one next to the
steering post. To access the connector, the front rack and
front fenders must be removed (see Steering/Frame/Con-
trols).
1. Set the meter selector to the OHMS position.
2. Connect the red tester lead to one blue/red wire; then
connect the black tester wire to the green/red wire.
The meter must show less than 1 ohm.
3. Depress and hold the reverse override button. The
meter must show an open circuit.
 NOTE: If the meter does not show as specified,
replace the switch.

Drive Select Switch

Component data can be retrieved using the CATT II. Uti-
lize the Sensor Data screen.
The connector is the three-wire white triangular one in
front of the upper steering post.
 NOTE: Resistance tests should be made with the
switch disconnected.
RESISTANCE
1. Set the meter selector to the OHMS position.
2. Connect the red tester lead to the green/white wire
terminal; then connect the black tester lead to the
black wire terminal.
3. With the switch in the 2WD position, the meter must
show an open circuit. With the switch in the 4WD
position, the meter must show less than 1 ohm.
the switch in the 4WD Lock position, the meter must
show less than 1 ohm.
4. Connect the red tester lead to the orange/white wire
terminal; then connect the black tester lead to the
black wire terminal.
5. With the switch in the 2WD position, the meter must
show an open circuit. With the switch in the 4WD
position, the meter must show an open circuit. With
the switch in the 4WD Lock position, the meter must
show less than 1 ohm.
 NOTE: If the meter does not show as specified,
replace the drive select switch.
Front Differential
Actuator System
 NOTE: With the engine stopped and the ignition
switch in the ON position, a momentary "whirring"
sound must be noticeable each time the drive select
switch is moved between positions. The LCD gauge
will display 4WD and 4WD Lock in the corresponding
switch positions. Test the switch, 30 amp fuse, and
wiring connections prior to testing the actuator sys-
tem.
 NOTE: Voltage tests must be made with the switch
and the actuator connected to the main harness. The
meter can be connected at the actuator connector
using a break-out harness or MaxiClips.
VOLTAGE
1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position, but do
not start the engine.
2. Connect the black tester lead to the black wire.
3. Select the DC Volts position on the tester and
observe the meter readings for each of the three
switch positions.

 NOTE: If the meter does not show voltages accord-
ing to the chart, make sure the switch and front drive
actuator are both plugged into the main harness;
then troubleshoot the switch, ignition fuses, battery
connections, or wiring harness.
 NOTE: If the voltage readings are as specified and
the actuator does not function correctly, replace the
With
actuator (see Drive System/Brake System).
VOLTAGE
(AC Generator - Regulated Output)
1. Set the meter selector to the DC Voltage position.
2. Connect the red tester lead to the positive battery
post; then connect the black tester lead to the nega-
tive battery post.
