RESISTANCE (AC Generator)
1. Set the meter selector to OHMS position.
2. Test between the three yellow wires (500/700) or
gray wires (1000) for a total of three tests.
3. The meter reading must be within specification.
RESISTANCE
(Crankshaft Position Sensor)
1. Set the meter selector to the OHMS position.
2. Connect the red tester lead to the blue wire; then con-
nect the black tester lead to the green wire. The
meter reading must be within specification.
AC VOLTAGE
NOTE: The battery must be at full charge for these
tests.
Crankshaft Position Sensor
1. Set the meter selector to the AC Voltage position.
2. Connect the red tester lead to the blue wire; then con-
nect the black tester lead to the green wire.
3. Crank the engine over using the electric starter.
4. The meter reading must be within specification.
Starter Relay
1. Remove the seat; then using the multimeter set to the
DC Voltage position, check the relay as follows.
2. Connect the red tester lead to the positive battery ter-
minal; then connect the black tester lead to the starter
cable connection on the starter relay. The meter must
show battery voltage.
FI496
NOTE: Make sure that the ignition switch is in the ON
position, transmission in neutral, brake lock released,
and the engine stop switch in the RUN position.
3. Depress the starter button while observing the multi-
meter. The multimeter should drop to 0 volts and a
“click” should be heard from the relay.
NOTE: If a “click” is heard and more than 1 volt is
indicated by the multimeter, replace the starter relay.
If no “click” is heard and the multimeter continues to
indicate battery voltage, proceed to step 4.
4. Disconnect the two-wire plug from the starter relay;
then connect the red tester lead to the green wire and
the black tester lead to the black wire.
KX059A
5. Depress the starter button and observe the multime-
ter.
NOTE: If battery voltage is indicated, replace the
starter relay. If no voltage is indicated, proceed to
Power Distribution Module (PDM) check in this sec-
tion.
Starter Motor
NOTE: The starter motor is a non-serviceable com-
ponent. If the following test does not result as speci-
fied, the starter motor must be replaced.
TESTING VOLTAGE
Perform this test on the starter motor positive terminal.
To access the terminal, slide the boot away.
NOTE: The ignition switch must be in the ON posi-
tion, the engine stop switch in the RUN position, and
the shift lever in the NEUTRAL position.
1. Set the meter selector to the DC Voltage position.
2. Connect the red tester lead to the starter motor termi-
nal; then connect the black tester lead to ground.
3. With the starter button depressed, the meter must
show approximately 10.0 DC volts and the starter
motor should operate.
