Coolant Temperature Sensor; Efi Diagnostics; Fuel Sender - Polaris MS4000 Service And Owner's Manual

ELECTRICAL
Fan Control Circuit Operation
Power is supplied to the fan via the Orange/Black wire when the
relay is ON. The ground path for the fan motor is through the
Brown harness wire. Refer to "RELAYS" later in this chapter
for more information on fan functions.
Keep hands away from fan blades during
operation. Serious personal injury could result.
NOTE: The fan may not function or operation may
be delayed if coolant level is low or if air is trapped in
the cooling system. Be sure cooling system is full
and purged of air. Refer to Maintenance Chapter 2
for cooling system information.
Fan Control Circuit Bypass Test
1. Disconnect harness from coolant temperature sensor on
engine.
2. With the parking brake applied, turn the ignition key (and
engine stop switch) "ON". The fan should start running.
3. If the fan does not run or runs slowly, check the fan motor
wiring, ground, motor condition and mechanical relay for
proper operation. Repair or replace as necessary. If the fan
runs with the sensor harness disconnected, but will not turn
on when the engine is hot, check the coolant temperature
sensor and connector terminals.

Coolant Temperature Sensor

The coolant temperature sensor can be tested using an ohmmeter
or voltmeter.
1. With the engine and temperature sensor at room
°
temperature (68 F = 20
connector.
2. With the meter in the ohms mode, place the meter leads
onto the sensor contacts.
3. Use the table Temperature / Resistance table to determine
if the sensor needs to be replaced.

EFI DIAGNOSTICS

EFI Component Testing
All EFI component information and diagnostic testing
procedures are located in Chapter 4.
Refer to Chapter 4 "Electronic Fuel Injection System (EFI)"
when diagnosing an EFI System.

FUEL SENDER

Testing
1. Drain the fuel tank and remove it from the chassis.
2. Set the fuel tank on a flat surface.
3. Hook up an ohm meter to the fuel sender harness Violet/
White wire (B) and Brown wire (C).
4. With the sender float in the empty position and compare
to specification.
Fuel Sender - Empty: 5 Ω ± 5%
5. Slowly tilt invert the tank so that gravity moves the sender
float to the full position and compare to specification.
Fuel Sender
Empty: 5Ω ± 5%
Half: 57Ω ± 5%
Full: 90Ω ± 5%
Fuel Sender - Full: 90 Ω ± 5%
6. If the readings are not to specification, or if the reading is
erratic or LCD display "sticks", check the following before
replacing the fuel pump assembly.
• Loose float
• Float contact with tank
• Bent Float Rod
If none of the conditions exists, the sender assembly is faulty.
Fuel pump/tank assembly replacement is required.
