INSTRUMENT CLUSTER
Overview
Introduction
Refer To Illustration 1:
The Polaris ATV Instrument Cluster is powered by battery
voltage (12 VDC) and requires inputs from the engine RPM,
transmission gear, and speed sensor for proper operation. Two
harnesses plug into the cluster head; one from the speed sensor,
and one from the vehicle main harness. A non-serviceable
internal memory battery maintains odometer and hour meter
data when the machine is not running. The illumination lamp
inside the gauge is non-serviceable and is designed to last for the
life of the unit. (A) The speedometer needle indicates speed
from an electronic speed sensor. The needle also flashes during
a warning condition. The speedometer needle indicates speed in
MPH and KPH. NOTE: A flashing needle could indicate a hot
engine, low battery warning, or the No. 10 Pin could be
grounded. (B) The speedometer face features numbers in Mile
Per Hour (MPH) and Kilometers Per Hour (KPH). (C) The
Rider Information Center performs a number of functions (See
Illustration 2):
1. Odometer / Tachometer / Trip meter / Hour Meter / Clock
• Odometer records the miles traveled by the ATV.
• Tachometer displays engine RPM. This feature will
also display with the vehicle in motion NOTE: Small
RPM fluctuations from day to day are normal because
of changes in humidity, temperature, and elevation
• Trip meter records the miles traveled by the ATV if
reset before each trip or total miles to 999. To reset the
trip meter, select the trip meter mode. Press and hold
the mode button (override button) until the total
changes to 0. NOTE: In the Rider Information Center,
the trip meter display contains a decimal point, but the
odometer displays without a decimal point.
• Hour meter logs the total hours the engine has been in
operation.
• Clock - displays hours and minutes.
2. Programmable Service Interval / Diagnostic Mode
• Service Interval - The purpose of the programmable
service interval is to provide the consumer and the
dealer with a convenient way to schedule routine
maintenance. When the ATV leaves the factory, this
feature is set at “50 hours". When the first 50 hours of
engine operation are finished the wrench icon will flash
for 10 seconds each time the ATV is started as a
reminder that ATV maintenance is due. NOTE: To reset
the Service Interval, follow the directions for
“SETTING NEW SERVICE INTERVAL” later in this
chapter.
3. Check Engine Warning Indicator
• The word HOT will display alpha numerically when the
engine is overheating. Do not continue to operate the
ATV if this warning appears. Refer to Chapter 3
“COOLING SYSTEM TROUBLESHOOTING” for
help with diagnosis of overheating.
