in this section are used for clarity purposes only
and are not designed to depict actual conditions.
SPECIAL TOOLS
A number of special tools must be available to the
technician when performing service procedures in this
section.

Battery

For battery-related information, see Section 2.

RPM Limiter

NOTE: The Prowler/XT models are equipped with
a CDI unit that retards ignition timing when maxi-
mum RPM is approached. When the RPM limiter is
activated, it could
high-speed misfire.
Testing Electrical
Components
All of the electrical tests should be made using the
Fluke Model 73 Multimeter and when testing peak
voltage, the Peak Voltage Reading Adapter must be
used. If any other type of meter is used, readings may
vary due to internal circuitry. When troubleshooting a
specific component, always verify first that the fuse(s)
are good, that the bulb(s) are good, that the connec-
tions are clean and tight, that the battery is fully
charged, and that all appropriate switches are acti-
vated.
NOTE: For absolute accuracy, all tests should be
made at room temperature of 68° F.
Accessory
Receptacle/Connector
NOTE: This test procedure is for either the recep-
tacles or the connectors.
VOLTAGE
1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position; then
set the meter selector to the DC Voltage position.
2. Connect the red tester lead to the red/white wire or
the positive connector; then connect the black
tester lead to ground.
3. The meter must show battery voltage.
NOTE: If the meter shows no battery voltage,
troubleshoot the battery, fuse, receptacle, connec-
tor, or the main wiring harness.
