Fan Motor; Power Distribution Module (Pdm) - Arctic Cat 2009 Prowler XT Service Manual

Fan Motor

NOTE: The ignition switch must be in the ON
position.
VOLTAGE (Main Harness
Connector to Fan Motor)
1. Set the meter selector to the DC Voltage position.
2. Connect the red tester lead to the black/red wire
(the black 2-prong at the fan motor); then connect
the black tester lead to ground.
3. The meter must show battery voltage.
NOTE: If the meter shows no battery voltage,
troubleshoot the battery, fuse, motor, or the main
wiring harness.
NOTE: If the meter shows battery voltage, the
main wiring harness is good. The connector
should be checked for resistance.
RESISTANCE
(Fan Motor Connector)
! CAUTION
Always disconnect the battery when performing
resistance tests to avoid damaging the multimeter.
1. Set the meter selector to the OHMS position.
2. Connect the red tester lead to the red wire; then
connect the black tester lead to the black wire.
3. The meter must show less than 1 ohm.
NOTE: If the meter shows more than 1 ohm of
resistance, troubleshoot or replace the switch/
component, the connector, or the switch wiring
harness.

NOTE: To determine if the fan motor is good, con-
nect the red wire from the fan connector to a 12 volt
DC power supply; then connect the black wire from
the fan connector to ground. The fan should operate.
! WARNING
Care should be taken to keep clear of the fan blades.
Power Distribution
Module (PDM)
The fuses are located in a power distribution module
under the operator's seat.
If there is any type of electrical system failure, always
check the fuses first.
1. Remove all fuses from the power distribution
module.
2. Set the meter selector to the DC Voltage position.
3. Connect the black tester lead to ground.
4. Using the red tester lead, contact each end of the
fuse holder connector terminals individually.
5. The meter must show battery voltage from one
side of the connector terminal ends.
NOTE: Battery voltage will be indicated from only
one side of the fuse holder connector terminal; the
other side will show no voltage.
NOTE: When testing the HI fuse holder, the head-
light OFF/HI/LO switch must be in the HI position;
when testing the LIGHTS fuse holder, the headlight
dimmer switch can be in either the HI or the LO
position.
NOTE: If the meter shows no battery voltage,
troubleshoot the battery, switches, power distribu-
tion module, or the main wiring harness.
FUSES
The main fuses are located in a power distribution
module under the operator's seat.
If there is any type of electrical system failure, always
check the fuses first.
NOTE: To remove the fuse, compress the locking
tabs on either side of the fuse case and lift out.
