Brown wires seemed tight, reved it up to 12.7 and it drops to 12 when i turn lights on. This is so frustrating! What are the odds the ecm is really bad from factory? After sitting steady at 12.7 i can rev it up to 13.2. Second fan comes on its down to 12 with no lights on. Would a bad fan cause the drop when its not on yet?

alternator and applies it to the battery. SCR’s areused to connect and disconnect the alternator from the battery to achieve regulation of the battery voltage. The regulator circuit produces current on the BATTERY pin (Pins E & F). If a high voltage transient is detected on the BATTERY pin this causes the regulator to assume an open battery condition. The high voltage transient will cause the regulator to turn off for a short period of time. If there truly is an "open" battery(short) then the regulator will remain off as the minimum battery requirement will not be met. The regulator will not turn on unless there exists a battery voltage in excess of the minimum battery voltage requirement." The fan if worn(bearings) can cause a drop in voltage if the fan is dragging. The manual also gives you an amperage test on the fan and if shows above a certain amperage before it kicks on,then it should should be replaced.. The manual can show so many tests on different areas and components. That's why I push em all the time on people. First eliminate the battery as the culprit! |

Sound like the battery is dropping,not holding the charge. Charge the battery fully. Then see if the battery starts dropping just using your meter. Possible the battery was/is the problem all along. Plus here's the section from the manual on the charging protection circuit."The regulator takes the output of the 3--phase

On testing the fan easier for you to get the 5 buck manual than for me to try to explain.. Plus it has a diagram of how to hook up the meter to test the fan and the amperage allowed.

All right, whats the odds ecm is bad out of box with a "pass" sticker on it?

Ok had it load tested at a polaris dealer, 12.4 volts on the printout it gave and says good battery.

Ok so heres what ive discovered, batery at it is 12.2 with full charge, at idle slowly increases. i can rev it up and it reaches 13.5. Ive put the multimeter in all yellow wires and if its on the right setting they all show roughly 147 with it grounded. I see .5 when i go each one in a different yellow
|
Yep over looked part of that post. Infinity should show OL or 1. depending on what meter he has. The .5 between each yellow is ok.(0.43 +/- 15 %) Possible he's reading it wrong,fingers touching leads??
