Check for 12v on the red/yel wire of the coil - no voltage, replace the 5 amp fuse - check for DC volts on the red/wht wire on pin 26 of the ECU - test the stator (pulse generator) by checking continuity between the blue/yellow and green wires - if it has continuity and is not shorted to ground, check the peak voltage output (typically 3 to 5 volts) - if you haven't found the problem up to this point and all tests good, flip a coin and either find the bad connection in the wiring (including grounds), replace the ECU or take it to the dealer and have them run the diagnostics on it.

 

thank you! I know I have voltage at the coil, so we can rule out the fuse. I will check pin 26 on the ECU, what would this indicate? and on the stator, where would I be checking the peak voltage? I assume directly at the ignition coil would be the best place? thanks, I apologize, I am an electrician, but this fourwheeler stuff is a bit different than what I am used to working on. Its hard to wrap my mind around this without a schematic. I should probably just break down and buy the service manual for it.

 

So here's an interesting one.... check the EFI Relay (on R-side, visible between front fascia / R-side cover mounted on frame that says "EFI" with big bold white letters) and perform a resistance / continuity test on that.

These Outlaws run their spark thru the EFI Relay ironically enough. Found that out the other day diagnosing a fuel pump and testing other items to verify all was well.
