Battery
For battery-related information, see Section 2.
RPM Limiter
NOTE: The Prowler/XT models are equipped with
a CDI unit that retards ignition timing when maxi-
mum RPM is approached. When the RPM limiter is
activated, it could be misinterpreted as a
high-speed misfire.
Testing Electrical
Components
All of the electrical tests should be made using the
Fluke Model 73 Multimeter (p/n 0644-191) and
when testing peak voltage, the Peak Voltage Read-
ing Adapter (p/n 0644-307) must be used. If any
other type of meter is used, readings may vary due
to internal circuitry. When troubleshooting a spe-
cific component, always verify first that the fuse(s)
are good, that the bulb(s) are good, that the connec-
tions are clean and tight, that the battery is fully
charged, and that all appropriate switches are acti-
vated.
NOTE: For absolute accuracy, all tests should be
made at room temperature of 68° F.
Accessory
Receptacle/Connector
NOTE: This test procedure is for either the
receptacles or the connectors.
VOLTAGE
1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position; then
set the meter selector to the DC Voltage posi-
tion.
2. Connect the red tester lead to the red/white wire
or the positive connector; then connect the black
tester lead to ground.
3. The meter must show battery voltage.
NOTE: If the meter shows no battery voltage,
troubleshoot the battery, fuse, receptacle, connec-
tor, or the main wiring harness.
Brakelight Switch
The switch connector is the two-prong black con-
nector below the master cylinder.
NOTE: The ignition switch must be in the ON
position.
