Fuses; Ignition Coil - Arctic Cat ATV 250 Utility 2009 Service Manual

3. Connect the black tester lead to ground.
4. Using the red tester lead, contact each end of the
30 amp fuse holder connector terminals individu-
ally.
5. The meter must show battery voltage from one
side of the connector terminal ends.
6. Install the 30 amp fuse; then using the red tester
lead, check the remaining two fuse holder connec-
tors as in step 4.
NOTE: Battery voltage will be indicated from only
one side of the fuse holder connector terminal; the
other side will show no voltage.
NOTE: If the meter shows no battery voltage,
troubleshoot the battery, fuse block, or the main
wiring harness.
! CAUTION
Always disconnect the battery when performing resis-
tance tests to avoid damaging the multimeter.
1. Set the meter selector to the OHMS position.
2. Connect the red tester lead to one spade end of the
fuse; then connect the black tester lead to the other
spade end.
3. The meter must show less than 1 ohm resistance.
If the meter reads open, replace the fuse.
NOTE: Make sure the fuses are returned to their
proper position according to amperage. Refer to
the fuse block cover for fuse placement.

Ignition Coil

The ignition coil is on the left side of the frame above
the engine. To access the coil on the 250 Utility, the
left side panel must be removed (see Section 8).
PEAK VOLTAGE (Primary/CDI Side)
NOTE: All of the peak voltage tests should be made
using the Fluke Model 73 Multimeter with Peak Volt-
age Reading Adapter. If any other type of tester is
used, readings may vary due to internal circuitry.
NOTE: The battery must be at full charge for
these tests.
NOTE: The ignition switch must be in the ON
position; the emergency stop switch must be in
the RUN position. Also, the white/blue wire must
be disconnected from the coil.
1. Set the meter selector to the DC Voltage position.
2. Connect the red tester lead to the black/white wire;
then connect the black tester lead to the green/gray
wire.
3. The meter reading must be within specifications.
NOTE: If the voltage is not as specified in the above
test, inspect the main wiring harness, main fuse,
ignition fuse, ignition switch, or engine stop switch.
RESISTANCE
Always disconnect the battery when performing resis-
tance tests to avoid damaging the multimeter.
NOTE: For these tests, the meter selector must
be set to the OHMS position.
Primary Winding
1. Remove the two spade connectors from the coil;
then connect the red tester lead to either terminal
and the black tester lead to the other terminal.
AR610D
2. The meter reading must be within specification.
Secondary Winding
1. Connect the red tester lead to the high tension lead
(plug cap removed); then connect the black tester
lead to ground.
2. The meter reading must be within specification.
NOTE: If the meter does not show as specified,
replace ignition coil.
