Ignition Switch; Headlight Switch; Drive Select Switch - Arctic Cat WILDCAT/X Service Manual

The following tests may aid in troubleshooting when the
ignition switch is ON and no EPS assistance is present:
 NOTE: The EPS assembly is not serviceable and must
not be disassembled or EPS warranty will be voided.
Make sure to thoroughly troubleshoot the entire system
before replacing the EPS assembly.
 NOTE: Prior to troubleshooting below, make sure the
ignition switch has not been left on with the engine not
started. After five minutes, this will deactivate the EPS
and display a code. Turn the ignition switch OFF and
back to ON to reset and reactivate the EPS.
1. Check 30-amp EPS fuse.
2. Check EPS relay (may be switched with any other 4-pin
relay on PDM - replace relay if EPS normal after switching).
3. Disconnect 2-pin connector on the EPS assembly and con-
nect a volt meter set to DC voltage to the harness (black
meter lead to BLK and red meter lead to ORG/BRN).With
the ignition switch to the ON position, the meter must read
more than 8.5 DC volts (if correct voltage is not present,
check connections and wiring harness).
CAUTION
Do not attempt to check resistance of the EPS motor (2-pin
input receptacle). There are internal capacitors holding a
charge that can cause internal damage to an ohmmeter.
4. Check for updates using the CATT II tool.
 NOTE: If after completing the preceding tests and
possible solutions with normal results a code or
issue persists, the EPS assembly must be replaced
(see Steering/Frame/Controls).

Ignition Switch

To access the ignition switch, dash switches, front accessory
connectors, and front switched accessory connector, the dash
must be unfastened and slid to the rear.
VOLTAGE
1. Set the meter selector to the DC Voltage position.
2. Connect the red meter lead to the red wire; then connect
the black meter lead to ground.
3. Meter must show battery voltage.
 NOTE: If the meter shows no battery voltage, troubleshoot
the main 30 amp fuse, the battery, or the main wiring harness.
4. Connect the red meter lead to the brown/black wire; then
with the black lead grounded, turn the ignition switch to
the ON position. The meter must show battery voltage.
5. Connect the red meter lead to the yellow/green wire; then
with the black lead grounded, turn the ignition switch to
the START position. The starter should engage and the
meter must show battery voltage.
 NOTE: When the starter is engaged, battery voltage will
be approximately 10.5 DC volts.

Headlight Switch

VOLTAGE
1. Connect the red meter lead to the gray wire; then con-
nect the black meter lead to the black wire.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position. The meter
must show battery voltage.
 NOTE: If the meter does not show battery voltage,
troubleshoot the LIGHTS fuse on the power distribu-
tion module, the ignition switch, or the main harness.
3. Connect the red meter lead to the yellow wire; then
select the high beam position on the headlight switch.
The meter must show battery voltage.
4. Connect the red meter lead to either of the two gray
wires; then select the low beam position on the head-
light switch. The meter must show battery voltage.
 NOTE: The battery voltage will show lower in steps
3 and 4 due to electrical loading of the headlights.

Drive Select Switch

RESISTANCE
1. Remove the switch assembly from the dash; then dis-
connect the harness from the switch.
 NOTE: The switch can be removed from the dash
using a thin, flat pry bar or suitable putty knife. It is not
necessary to remove the dash to remove the switch.
2. Using an ohmmeter, the following readings must be
observed.

A to D <1 ohm A to D <1 ohm
C to E <1 ohm C to E <1 ohm
A to B Open A to B <1 ohm
A to C Open A to C Open
