To fix a C1418 code and poor performance on a 2015 Arctic Cat Wildcat 700:

1. Check for electrical EPS system issues – The C1418 code may relate to an electrical power steering (EPS) malfunction. Clean the battery terminals with a baking soda and water solution and ensure the battery is charged.

2. Verify DTCs using CATT II software – Use the diagnostic tool to confirm active trouble codes and get specific details.

3. If no active EPS codes are found – The issue may be mechanical in the steering system, not electrical.

For poor performance:

1. Check for bad gasoline – Drain and replace with clean gas.
2. Inspect ignition components – Replace defective ignition coil or adjust the spark plug gap if too narrow or wide.
3. Clean air and fuel systems – Clean air cleaner element, fuel hose, and throttle body.
4. Inspect engine components – Replace weak valve springs, retime engine if valve timing is incorrect, or replace worn cams.

Use the steps that match the symptoms observed.
