Gear Position Switch; Stator Coil - Arctic Cat 2014 XC 450 Service Manual

2. With the ignition switch in the OFF position, connect
the black tester lead to the black wire in the supply
harness; then connect the red tester lead to either
orange wire in the supply harness.
3. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position. The
meter must show 12 DC volts.
4. Connect the red tester lead to the second orange wire in
the supply harness. The meter must show 12 DC volts.
5. Connect the red tester lead to the white/green wire in
the supply harness. The meter must show 12 DC volts.
6. Select the 4WD position on the drive select switch;
then connect the red tester lead to the white/blue wire
in the supply harness. The meter must show 0 DC
volts.
 NOTE: The 4WD icon on the LCD should illuminate.
 NOTE: If the voltage readings are as specified and
the actuator does not function correctly, replace the
actuator (see Drive System).

Gear Position Switch

The gear position switch is located on the engine/trans-
mission next to the shift arm.
To troubleshoot the switch, use the following procedure.
1. Disconnect the gear position switch connector; then
using a multimeter, test the switch in each position as
follows. Resistance must be less than 1 ohm for all tests.
90
A. Neutral (N)
B. Reverse (R)
C. High (H)
D. Low (L)
2. Connect the harness to the gear position switch.
VOLTAGE
(AC Generator - Regulated Output)
1. Set the meter selector to the DC Voltage position.
2. Connect the red tester lead to the positive battery
post; then connect the black tester lead to the nega-
tive battery post.
3. With the engine running at a constant 3000 RPM
(with the headlights on), the meter must show 14-
15.5 DC volts.
Do not run the engine at high RPM for more than 10 sec-
onds.
 NOTE: If voltage is lower than specified, test AC
Generator coil - no load.
VOLTAGE (AC Generator Coil - No
Load)
The connector is the black three-pin one on the right side
of the engine just above the starter motor.
 NOTE: Test the engine-side of the connector.
1. Set the meter selector to the AC Voltage position.
2. Test between the three black wires for a total of three tests.
3. With the engine running at the specified RPM, all
FI525B
wire tests must show 60 AC volts.
Do not run the engine at high RPM for more than 10 seconds.
 NOTE: If both AC Generator coil tests failed, check
all connections, etc., and test again. If no voltage is
present, replace the stator assembly.
RESISTANCE (AC Generator Coil)
1. Set the meter selector to OHMS position.
2. Test between the three black wires for a total of three tests.
3. The meter reading must be within specification.
RESISTANCE (Crankshaft Position
Sensor)
1. Disconnect the gray four-pin connector on the right
side of the engine just above the starter motor.
