The saga continues. The ATV wasn’t fixed by a new air cleaner. Just a coincidence that while playing with it I cycled the key on and off three times without starting. I’ve since found out that’s how you clear limp mode from the computer. And I was just toying with the switch wondering if there was a short. Went to split the wood Wednesday night, atv threw a code again, back into limp mode. So this evening I cleared the computer and tried again. Had to get the splitter in the garage before the rains come. Figured I might as well use it first. Didn’t make it halfway through that wood and I lost a knife on the box wedge. Never said I was a master welder. Torn between just welding it back in or doing the entire refab I had in mind. I’d like to try channels to slowly redirect the splits towards the center of the outfeed area. Truck goes in the shop Tuesday and the ATV goes in next Friday. I’m gonna be eating Ramen noodles for awhile
That sucks. That's pretty much why I haven't bought in to the new auto tuning computer saws. If something goes wrong with what I have, I'm full capable of a total repair. The thought of having to take in in for the stealership to plug it in for diagnostics is a turn off. Is there a port on the atv that could be plugged into to read codes?
There is a port for Polaris Digital Wrench. I can also access the codes, and have, right through the electronic speedometer. The problem is knowing what those codes really mean. Much of it is electronic stuff. Just small variations in impedance from norm between computer sensors can screw up the entire works. Want a shocker? The throttle control in the handlebar sells for $489.00. Floored me anyway. Never thought about it but there’s no throttle cable. It’s all electronic wiring to the throttle body. watched a You Tube vid of a guy that fixed his because two 10 cent resistors registering different impedance. I called the dealer where I bought it. They contacted Polaris and have the info on the code. I’m hoping they can trace it to a sensor instead of just replacing very expensive parts until they get it right. According to the web that’s what most dealers do.
