Front Drive Selector Actuator; Gear Position Switch; Stator Coil - Arctic Cat 2014 450 Service Manual

4. Turn the ignition switch to the RUN position.
5. The meter must show battery voltage.
 NOTE: If the meter shows other than specified,
check the harness, connector, 30 amp fuse, and bat-
tery connections.
Front Drive Selector
Actuator
 NOTE: With the engine stopped and the ignition
switch in the ON position, a momentary "whirring"
sound must be noticeable each time the selector
switch is moved to 2WD and 4WD. Test the switch, 30
amp fuse, and wiring connections prior to testing the
actuator.
VOLTAGE
1. Select the 2WD position on the front drive selector
switch; then disconnect the connector on the actuator
wiring harness.
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 front drive selector
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 - Front Drive Actuator).

Gear Position Switch

The gear position switch is located on the engine/trans-
mission next to the shift arm.
92
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.
A. Neutral (N) Pins 3 to 4
B. Reverse (R) Pins 3 to 4 and 3 to 2
C. High (H) Pins 3 to 4 and 3 to 1
D. Low (L) Pins 3 to 1
2. Connect the harness to the gear position switch.

Stator Coil

 NOTE: Preliminary checks may be performed on
this component using the diagnostic mode on the
LCD gauge (see EFI Diagnostic System in this sec-
tion).
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.
