If motor seems to jam and it has not reached the
end of its stroke, the following test could be per-
formed.
First remove motor, refer to PROPULSION SYS-
TEM 08-05. Then manually rotate worm to verify
VTS system actuating mechanism for free opera-
tion.
Connect motor through a 15 A fuse directly to the
battery.
Connect wires one way then reverse polarities to
verify motor rotation in both ways.
If VTS actuating mechanism is correct and the
motor turns freely in both ways, VTS module
could be defective.
VTS Control Module
SPX, GSI, GSX and XP Models
It receives its current from the battery. It is pro-
tected by its own 7.5 A fuse.

BROWN/BLACK wire and BROWN/WHITE wire
of VTS control module.
NOTE: To permit VTS actuation when engine is
not running, remove safety lanyard from switch
and depress start/stop button to activate timer.
Push on VTS switch down position until motor
stops.
Read the resistance on the ohmmeter, it should
indicate a resistance of 24 ohms
±
1%.
Push on VTS switch up position until motor stops.
Read the resistance on the ohmmeter, it should
indicate a resistance of 167 ohms
±
1%.
NOTE: If the VTS control module passes this re-
sistance test, it doesn’t mean it is in perfect con-
dition.
