4. High/Low Battery Voltage
This warning usually indicates that the ATV is being
operated at an RPM too low to keep the battery
charged. A low battery warning may also occur under
normal operation if the machine is at idle and high
electrical load (lights, cooling fan, accessories) is
applied. Driving at a higher RPM or connecting a
battery charger will usually clear the warning.
5. Engine Hour Display Indicator
Displays number of hours of engine operation.
6. AWD Indicator
Illuminates when the electrical portion of the AWD
system is enabled.
7. Gear Indicator
Specifies what position the shift lever and
transmission are in. This area is blank if a fault occurs.
8. Mode Indicator
Indicates which modes are being utilized.
DIAGNOSTIC MODE -- 2005
MODELS
NOTE : This gauge features auto shut--off protection
if the voltage on the DC bus is excessive. This is
usually the result of an open battery condition, and the
gauge is designed to survive such an event.
NOTE : If the gauge will not indicate what gear it is in
and will not allow AWD operation, AWD can still be
enabled by holding in the mode/override button.
To enter the diagnostics mode:
1. Turn the key switch off and wait 10 seconds.
2. Set the park brake and shift the transmission to
neutral.
3. Hold the mode/reverse override button as you
turn the key switch on.
4. Release the switch as soon as the display is
activated.
Use the mode/reverse override button to toggle
through the diagnostic screens.
