Tilt Sensor - Arctic Cat WILDCAT X Service Manual

WC224A
4. Install the cargo box; then install the rear body panel
and connect the gas tank filler hose and secure with
the clamp.
5. Connect the negative battery cable and install the
battery cover; then install the seats and lock in place.

TILT SENSOR

The tilt sensor is located in the center console above the
forward driveline coupler. The seats and center console
must be removed to access the sensor.
! WARNING
Incorrect installation of the tilt sensor could cause sud-
den loss of engine power which could result in loss of
vehicle control resulting in injury or death.
CAUTION
Do not drop the tilt sensor as shock can damage the
internal mechanism.
Supply Voltage
1. Disconnect the three-wire connector from the sensor;
then select DC Voltage on the multimeter and con-
nect the red tester lead to the orange wire (C) and the
pink tester lead to the pink wire (A).

2. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position. The
multimeter should read battery voltage. If battery
voltage is not indicated, check the 30-amp fuse, wir-
ing harness, or the ignition switch.
3. Remove the red tester lead and connect to the
blue/brown wire (B). The multimeter should read
approximately 0.2 DC volts or less. If the specified
voltage is not indicated, check wire connections at
the ECM or substitute another ECM to verify the
test.

Output Voltage

NOTE: Needle adapters will be required on the mul-
timeter leads as the following tests are made with the
sensor connected.
1. Connect the three-wire plug to the sensor; then
remove the right-side mounting screw securing the
sensor to the frame.
2. Install the needle adapters to the multimeter leads;
then select DC Voltage on the multimeter.
3. Connect the red tester lead to the blue/brown wire
and the black tester lead to the pink/black wire; then
turn the ignition switch ON and observe the meter.
The meter should read 0.3-2.9 DC volts.
4. Tilt the sensor 60° or more to the left and right
observing the meter. The meter should read 3.0-8.0
DC volts after approximately one second in the tilted
position. If the meter readings are not as specified,
the tilt sensor is defective.

NOTE: When replacing the sensor after testing
make sure the arrow is directed up.

THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR (TPS)
Component data can be retrieved using the CATT II. Uti-
lize the Sensor Data screen.

NOTE: Preliminary checks may be performed on
this component using the diagnostic mode on the LCD
gauge (see EFI Diagnostic System in this section).
Verifying TPS Adjustment Tool
Before using the TPS adjustment tool, verify its battery
condition. The battery used in the tool is a 9-volt battery.
To check battery condition, use a digital volt/ohmmeter
set on DC volt scale. Test between the adjustment tool
black and red jacks. Insert the red lead of the digital volt-
meter into the red jack of the adjustment tool and the
black lead of the digital voltmeter into the black jack of
the adjustment tool. The green power light of the ana-
lyzer should now be illuminated. If voltage is found
below 4.9 volts, replace the battery.

NOTE: The Test Harness must be plugged into the
analyzer for testing voltage. Always verify battery
voltage is at least 4.9 DC volts before testing TPS.
