DIAGNOSTIC DISPLAY MODE
The EFI diagnostic display mode is for informational purposes only. Your
POLARIS dealer can provide for all major repairs.
The diagnostic mode is accessible only when the check engine warning
indicator activates after the key has been turned on. Leave the key on if you
want to view the active code (failure code).
The diagnostic mode becomes inaccessible if the key is turned off and on and
the warning indicator is no longer active. This allows the determination of
persistent as well as intermittent faults.
Inactive codes are stored in the history of the unit.
ENGINE ERROR CODES
The error screen displays only when the CHECK ENGINE light is on or when it
goes on and off during one ignition cycle. Error codes are not stored. When the
key is turned OFF, the code and message is lost, but will reappear if the fault
reoccurs after restarting the engine.
If the CHECK ENGINE light illuminates, retrieve the error codes from the display.
1. If the error codes are not displayed, use the MODE button to toggle until “Ck
ENG” displays on the main line of the display.
2. Press and hold the MODE button to enter the diagnostics code menu.
3. Record the three numbers displayed in the gear position, clock and odometer
displays.
4. Press the MODE button to advance to the next error code.
5. Press and hold the MODE button to exit the diagnostics code menu.
6. Your authorized POLARIS dealer can provide code details and diagnosis.
