ECU REPLACEMENT
Although the need for ECU replacement is unlikely, a
specific replacement procedure is required to ensure that
all essential data contained within the original ECU is
transferred to the replacement ECU.
NOTE
Refer to this procedure and carefully follow all
instructions provided in Digital Wrench®.

1. Carefully follow the ECU replacement instructions
provided in Digital Wrench® to ensure that all
essential data contained within the original ECU is
transferred to the replacement ECU.

stores the fault code in its fault memory. Depending on
the significance or severity of the fault, normal operation
may continue, or "Fail-Safe" operation (slowed speed,
richer running) may be initiated. A technician can
determine the cause of the “Check Engine” light by
referencing the “Instrument Cluster Trouble Code
Display” and “Diagnostic Trouble Code Table” or by using
Digital Wrench®. The ECU requires a minimum of 7.0
volts to operate. The memory in the ECU is operational
the moment the battery cables are connected.
To prevent engine over-speed and possible failure, an
RPM limiting feature is programmed into the ECU. If the
maximum RPM limit is exceeded, the ECU suppresses
the injection signals, cutting off the fuel flow and retards
the ignition timing. This process repeats it self in rapid
succession, limiting operation to the preset maximum.
RPM Limit:
RZR 900: 8300
RZR 1000: 8800
