Ignition Switch

TESTING
CAUTION
To prevent ohmmeter damage when testing circuits on
snowmobiles equipped with an electric start, be sure
to disconnect the battery before testing.
1. Disconnect the wiring harness from the ignition
switch; then remove the switch from the console.
2. Using the ohmmeter, test the connections indicated
in the following chart. If the meter reads more than
one ohm of resistance between connected terminals
or less than 1 ohm of resistance on non-connected
terminals, the switch must be replaced.
 NOTE: If the ignition switch tests good, verify bat-
tery voltage to the harness side of the switch plug-in.
If there is no voltage, troubleshoot the battery, switch
fuse, or starter relay solenoid.
If battery voltage is present at the plug-in and the starter
fails to activate, use the following procedure:
1. With the ignition switch plugged in, place the emer-
gency stop switch to the OFF position.
2. Connect the red tester lead to the black/yellow wire;
then connect the black tester lead to a suitable
ground.
3. Rotate the key to the START position and verify bat-
tery voltage.
 NOTE: If no battery voltage is present, troubleshoot
the harness and/or the starter relay solenoid.

remove the mount and servomotor up and out of the
way.
5. Disconnect both injector wires from the injectors;
then remove the four clamps securing the throttle
bodies.
6. Disconnect the oil pump rod from the throttle bodies;
then remove and plug the PTO-side coolant hose
from the throttle bodies. Lift up the throttle bodies
and set out of the way.
7. Remove the throttle body boot from the chassis.
