GENERAL INFORMATION
Special Tools
Battery Maintenance / Testing
See Chapter 1 “General / Battery” for battery service
procedures, maintenance, and connections.
Electrical Service Notes
Note the following when diagnosing an electrical problem:
• BATTERY INFORMATION - All battery information
including Safety, Maintenance, Service, and Testing is
in Chapter 1 General Information and Battery .
• FLOATING CHASSIS - Unless the battery charger is
connected to a wall outlet, the chassis on the POLARIS
EV-LSV is not used as a conductor and is not at ground
potential. The ground wire in the wire harness must be
used as a ground reference for your meter or when
instructed to connect a wire on the vehicle to “ground”.
• Do not service the electrical system when charging the
batteries. The chassis is at ground potential when the
charger of the vehicle is connected to a wall outlet,
which increases the chance of an electrical short.
• 48 VOLT FUSES AND RELAYS - Some fuses and
relays are 48 Volt and must not be substituted with
similar looking 12 volt parts.
• Disconnect the Main Power Connector (See Chapter
1) before disconnecting any electrical component.
The Main Power Connector should be the last
connection made after servicing the vehicle.
• Refer to wiring diagram or the system break-out
diagram for electrical component resistance
specifications and location on the vehicle.
• When measuring resistance of a component that has a
resistance value under 10 Ohms, remember to subtract
meter lead resistance from the reading. Connect the
leads together and record the resistance. The true
resistance is equal to tested value minus lead resistance.
• Be sure your meter leads are in the proper jack for the
test being performed (i.e. 10A jack for current
readings). Refer to the Owner’s Manual included with
your meter for more information.
• Voltage, amperage, and resistance values included in
this manual are obtained with a Fluke™ 77 Digital
Multimeter (PV-43568) or an equivalent Fluke meter.
Readings obtained with other meters may differ.
• Pay attention to the prefix on the multimeter reading (K,
M, etc.) and the position of the decimal point.
• For resistance readings, isolate the component being
tested by disconnecting it from the wiring harness or
power supply.
• Verify battery voltage and general battery condition.
• Inspect battery and contactor terminal cleanliness,
condition, and fastener torque.
• Inspect all connections at the controller
• Connectors in a circuit - Separate the connector and
closely inspect terminal pins or sockets for corrosion.
Verify all pins are aligned in mating connectors. Check
wires closely to be sure pins and sockets are secure
(locked in) the connector housing.
• Secure all wiring to prevent contact with sharp edges or
moving parts after service.
General Wire Color Function
Following is a description of wire color function for the main
circuits on the POLARIS EV-LSV. Some exceptions may occur.
Always refer to the system wiring schematics or to the main
chassis and sub-harness schematics for reference.
Overheat Control Circuit Operation
Overheating of the controller or drive motor will illuminate the
TEMP light on the indicator light panel. When the TEMP lamp
is on, the controller will reduce performance or terminate power
delivery (if severe overheating exists) until the overheat
condition has passed. Operation will return to normal when the
controller and /or motor has cooled.

SWITCHES / CONTROLS
Headlight Switch
VOLTAGE LEVEL: 13.5 VDC
LOCATION: On Dashboard.
SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAM REFERENCE: See page 8.23.
OVERVIEW: Headlight power is supplied to the headlight
switch via the RD/YE wire leading from the 10A LIGHTS fuse
(located in the fuse box under the hood), through Pin 10 of the
Chassis to Dash connector block. Power enters the headlight
switch on terminal 2.
When the headlight switch is in the OFF position, power
entering terminal 2 of the switch flows through the RD/YE
jumper wire to terminal 6, through the switch lamp to terminal
7 and 8, then to ground on the BN wire.
When the headlight switch is ON, power flows from terminal 2
to terminal 3 (DG), back through the Chassis / Dash connector
Pin 11 and on to the headlights. Note that in the ON position the
other switch lamp is powered and ground path is through
terminal 8 (BN).
If the headlight switch lamp is illuminated with the key switch
ON, power is reaching the switch through the fuse. If switch
lamp does not turn on with key switch, check the fuse. If fuse is
good (and powered), test for power on the RD/YE wire (terminal
2) of the switch harness. If power is present, test switch
continuity and ground path on the BN wires in the harness.
Headlight Switch Power and Ground Testing
NOTE: If switch is illuminated, this test is not required. The
ground is for switch lighting only.
1. Open hood. Reach under the dash and press tab on
headlight switch connector to disconnect wire harness
from switch. Do not pull on wiring.
2. Turn key switch ON.
3. Verify 12-14Vdc is present on the RD/YE wire.
