Odometer/Engine Hour Display Area

This area displays the odometer, Trip A meter, Trip B meter and engine 
hours meter.

The odometer displays the total distance traveled by the vehicle since 
manufacture. Each trip meter records the distance traveled by the vehi-
cle on a trip if the meter is reset before each trip. The engine hour meter 
displays the total hours the engine has been in operation since manufac-
ture.

To change the display, press and release the SELECT button or the SET 
switch until the desired item is displayed.

To reset a trip meter, press and hold the SELECT button or the SET 
switch until the meter resets to zero.

The playback function allows the rider to record and play back engine 
speed, vehicle speed and throttle position sensor information for up to 
three minutes.

SELECT buttons on the instrument cluster for three seconds. The 
playback indicator will flash while the instrument cluster is record-

Diagnostic Display Mode

The diagnostic display mode is for informational purposes only. Please 
see your POLARIS dealer for all major repairs. 

The diagnostic mode is accessible only when the check engine warning 
indicator is illuminated and a diagnostic code is active.

Do not stop the engine if you want to view the active code (failure 
code). Active codes cannot be retrieved if power is interrupted to the 
instrument cluster. The codes will become inactive codes if power is 
interrupted. Inactive codes are stored in the history of the unit. Please 
see your POLARIS dealer to retrieve inactive codes.

Use the following procedure to view active codes.

1. Do not stop the engine.

2. With the brake engaged, press and release the SELECT button or 

SET switch to toggle to the diagnostic display mode. When a code 
is active, the diagnostic display mode will appear immediately fol-
lowing the engine hour display. 

TIP: When the diagnostic mode is displayed, the check engine warning indicator 

will begin to flash.

3. A set of two numbers will appear in the display. 

• The 2-6 digit suspect parameter number (SPN) in the information display 

area indicates which component is generating the fault code.

• The 1-2 digit failure mode indicator (FMI) number in the odometer area 

indicates the fault mode, such as open or short circuit. 

4. More than one fault may be active. Press and hold the MODE but-

ton or MODE switch for two seconds to toggle to the next active 
code. Repeat until all codes are retrieved.

5. See page 40 for code definitions and failure descriptions.
