Throttle Position Sensor (Tps) (500) - Arctic Cat 500 Service Manual

OUTPUT VOLTAGE
 NOTE: Needle adapters or a "break-out" harness
will be required on the multimeter leads as the follow-
ing tests are made with the sensor connected.
1. Connect the three-wire plug to the sensor; then
remove the right-side mounting screw securing the
sensor to the rear frame.
2. Install the needle adapters to the multimeter leads;
then select DC Voltage on the multimeter.
3. Connect the red tester lead to the blue/brown wire
(B) and the black tester lead to the black/yellow wire
(A); then turn the ignition switch ON and observe the
meter. The meter should read 0.3-1.5 DC volt.
4. Tilt the sensor 60° or more to the left and right
observing the meter. The meter should read 3.0-7.0
DC volts after approximately one second in the tilted
position. If the meter readings are not as specified,
the tilt sensor is defective.

 NOTE: Prior to testing the TPS, inspect the
three-wire plug connector on the main harness and
the three-pin plug on the TPS for contamination, bro-
ken pins, and/or corrosion.
 NOTE: If the vehicle is in warranty, removing or
adjusting the TPS will void warranty. If the TPS is
tested out of specification, the throttle body must be
replaced. If the vehicle is out of warranty, the TPS
may be adjusted.
2. Connect the TPS Multi-Analyzer Harness connector
#8 to the TPS; then connect the harness to the TPS
Analyzer Tool.
