Starter Relay; Alternator/Regulator/Rectifier/Stator - Tracker Off-Road XTR1000 Service Manual

XX339A
3. With the brake depressed and key switch momentar-
ily held in the start position, the meter must show bat-
tery voltage and the starter should operate.
NOTE: If the meter shows correct voltage but the

starter motor does not operate or operated slowly,
troubleshoot all starting system components before
replacing the starter motor.
 NOTE: If the meter shows no battery voltage,
inspect the main fuse, ground connections, starter
lead, battery voltage (at the battery), starter relay, or
the start relay.

Starter Relay

1. Remove the battery access panel; then using the mul-
timeter set to the DC Voltage position, check the
starter relay that is located behind the battery as fol-
lows.
2. Connect the red tester lead to the positive battery ter-
minal; then connect the black tester lead to the start
relay connection (A) on the starter relay. The meter
must show battery voltage.

 NOTE: Make sure the ignition switch is in the ON
position and the transmission in park.
3. With the brake pedal depressed, rotate the key switch
to the starter position while observing the multime-
ter. The multimeter should drop to 0 volts and a
"click" should be heard from the relay.
NOTE: If a "click" is heard and more than one volt

is indicated by the multimeter, replace the starter
relay. If no "click" is heard and the multimeter con-
tinues to indicate battery voltage, proceed to step 4.
4. Disconnect the two-wire plug from the starter relay;
then connect the red tester lead to the green wire and
the black tester lead to the orange wire.

5. With the brake pedal depressed and the key switch
momentarily held in the start position, observe the
multimeter.
NOTE: If constant battery voltage is indicated,

replace the starter relay.
Alternator/Regulator/
Rectifier/Stator
There are two ways that electrical power is generated to
the battery. The battery receives a charge from the alter-
nator that is externally attached to the engine on the pas-
senger side and from the stator. The stator is internal on
the engine and feeds the regulator/rectifier. The regula-
tor/rectifier is attached to the frame on the passenger side
rear inner fender. To accurately test the alternator and/or
stator (regulator/rectifier), they must be isolated from
each other.
ALTERNATOR
Testing
 NOTE: Prior to performing the following test, make
sure the alternator belt is properly tightened and the
battery is fully charged.
1. Disconnect both of the electrical connections going
to the regulator/rectifier.
