Electronic Power Steering (Eps) - Arctic Cat 2016 Wildcat Sport Service Manual

6. If using the CTEK Multi US 800, there are no further
buttons to push. If using the CTEK Multi US 3300,
press the Mode button (A) at the left of the charger
until the Maintenance Charge Icon (B) at the bottom
illuminates. The Normal Charge Indicator (C) should
illuminate on the upper portion of the battery char-
ger.
NOTE: The maintainer/charger will charge the bat-

tery to 95% capacity at which time the Maintenance
Charge Indicator (D) will illuminate and the main-
tainer/charger will change to pulse/float maintenance.
If the battery falls below 12.9 DC volts, the charger
will automatically start again at the first step of the
charge sequence.
3300A
 NOTE: Not using a battery charger with the proper
float maintenance will damage the battery if con-
nected over extended periods.
Charging
NOTE: Arctic Cat recommends the use of the

CTEK Multi US 800 or the CTEK Multi US 3300 for
battery maintenance charging.
1. Be sure the battery and terminals have been cleaned
with a baking soda and water solution.
NOTE: The sealing strip should NOT be removed

and NO fluid should be added.
2. Be sure the charger and battery are in a well-venti-
lated area. Be sure the charger is unplugged from the
110-volt electrical outlet.
3. Connect the red terminal lead from the charger to the
positive terminal of the battery; then connect the
black terminal lead of the charger to the negative ter-
minal of the battery.
4. Plug the charger into a 110-volt electrical outlet.
5. By pushing the Mode button (A) on the left side of
the charger, select the Normal Charge Icon (E). The
Normal Charge Indicator (C) should illuminate on
the upper left portion of the charger.

6. The battery will charge to 95% of its capacity at
which time the Maintenance Charge Indicator (D)
will illuminate.
NOTE: For optimal charge and performance, leave

the charger connected to the battery for a minimum 1
hour after the Maintenance Charge Indicator (D) illu-
minates. If the battery becomes hot to the touch, stop
charging. Resume after it has cooled.
7. Once the battery has reached full charge, unplug the
charger from the 110-volt electrical outlet.
Electronic Power Steering
Component data and
retrieved/performed using the CATT II. Navigate the
screens as required.
The EPS system is an electro-mechanical device that uti-
lizes 12 volt DC power to drive a motor linked to the
steering shaft to assist the driver when rotating the steer-
ing wheel. Driver steering inputs are detected by a
torque-sensing transducer assembly within the EPS hous-
ing. These inputs are converted to electronic signals by
the transducer and control circuitry to tell the motor
which way to drive the steering shaft. When no steering
input (pressure on the steering wheel) is detected, no
torque signal is generated, and no steering assist is pro-
vided by the motor.
If an electrical-related EPS system malfunction occurs, a
diagnostic trouble code (DTC) will be displayed on the
LCD gauge. Check for updates and verify any active
DTCs using the most up-to-date CATT II software. The
following is a list of DTCs, possible conditions, and
causes.
 NOTE: If no active codes are present on the LCD or
verified through CATT II and the vehicle is experi-
encing steering-related issues, there may be a
mechanical steering-related issue. In this case, the
EPS is not the cause of the issue. Components that
may contribute to this type of issue could be abnormal
tire wear, bad wheel bearings, ball joints, tie rod ends,
tie rods, or bushings. Check the complete steering sys-
tem for any sign of wear or misalignment.
NOTE: If any code C1306-C1315 or C1317-C1325

are active and verified with CATT II, EPS replace-
ment is not necessary. Follow the instructions listed in
the chart to correct the malfunction.
