INSTRUMENT CLUSTER
Overview
Introduction
Refer To Illustration 1:
The Polaris ATV Instrument Cluster is powered by battery
vo
ltage (12 VDC) and requires inputs from the engine
RPM, transmission gear, and transmission speed sensor
for proper operation. Two harnesses plug into the cluster
head; one from the transmission 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 wheel speed sensor
located on the transmission and 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 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):

ometer - records the miles traveled by the
