14 Outlander 4×4 Wiring Damage
The dreaded DPS system
I know this issue has been addressed several times and I read every thread that I could find about it with no luck 🙁
I bought a 2010 outty 800 xt-p secondhand and the DPS has not worked since I bought it, the guy told me that it started when he changed the battery (don’t really know if that was a lie or not). I am getting the famous P0637 code and a check engine light. I did discover the stator connector area and saw that someone did a poor attempt at trying to fix it, clipped off the factory plugs and put electric tape and small gauge wire and it was all melted together! I clipped all that off and got some heavier gauge wire, crimped and heat shrinked it on hoping this would fix my problem, sadly it did not. I then checked the battery terminals, took them off, put some washers to hopefully get a better connection and still nada. I have checked frame grounds and everything else I know of. I even read about a couple recalls on the DPS for this year model and had the dealer run the VIN and he said that they were all performed.
Is there something I am missing?
Thanks guys :pi_sunglasses:

Wheel spacers question/practicality
slop where rear tire mounts?
Of course I jacked it up and took tires off and tried to tighten that 1 1/4" nut just inside the center of the rim (you take that nut off and put it back on when replacing rear axles)
That night was tight as fuuuuuuuu
so, bearing inside trailing arm? 2011 800 XT Outlander G1 frame.
Is there naturally that much slop? I mean, they both do it I guess but seems like they should be tight.
oh, the slop is like cast/camber slot, not the tire rotating forward slop.
I replaced factory rear axles with Rhino brand years ago and never an issue since. Everything else seems tight and normal.
Anyone else ever have this? normal?
Shifting problem / belt problem -12 650 Outlander
I´ve been readind threads about these shifting problems and in my 2012 650 Outlander the problem seems to be the belt hitting the primary´s inner plate. I see marks in both plate and the belt. You can also see that the belt is not in the middle. I have 40 hours on my Outlander and opened the CVT for a cleanup. Both primary and secondary are spinning on neutral and park and gears go in with a "clunk". Replaced oneway bearings and greased all necessary parts properly. I put new tranny oil and the old one did seem ok. Put in Castrol 75w-140. Made no difference.
What might be the cause of CVT not lining up properly? All the parts are there where they are supposed to be.
What else might cause this?
Check Engine
I was up riding today and I kept getting a check engine code and I was running very hot.
I have a 2012 Max 800XT
I did some checking and my fan is cycling.
I pulled the Radiator cap off and ran it up to temp and the fan cycled several times and got no check engine.
Could I have a bad cap?
If the cap is bad, could it cause the engine to run hot?
I have 3 more days of riding ahead of me and would hate to miss it.
I am going to try to find a dealer to get my cap checked.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Mike
