Inspection, adjustment and lubrication of important components are explained in the periodic maintenance chart.
Inspect, clean, lubricate, adjust and replace parts as necessary. When inspection reveals the need for replacement parts, use
genuine Pure Polaris parts available from your Polaris dealer.
NOTE: Service and adjustments are critical. If you’re not familiar with safe service and adjustment
procedures, have a qualified dealer perform these operations.
Maintenance intervals in the following chart are based upon average riding conditions and an average vehicle speed of approximately
10 miles per hour. Vehicles subjected to severe use must be inspected and serviced more frequently.
Severe Use Definition
• Frequent immersion in mud, water or sand
• Racing or race-style high RPM use
• Prolonged low speed, heavy load operation
• Extended idle
• Short trip cold weather operation
Pay special attention to the oil level. A rise in oil level during cold weather can indicate contaminants collecting in the oil sump or
crankcase. Change oil immediately if the oil level begins to rise. Monitor the oil level, and if it continues to rise, discontinue use
and determine the cause or see your dealer.
Break-In Period
The break-in period consists of the first 20 hours of operation. Careful treatment of a new engine and drive components will result
in more efficient performance and longer life for these components.
• Drive vehicle slowly at first while varying the throttle position. Do not operate at sustained idle.
• Pull only light loads.
• Perform regular checks on fluid levels and other areas outlined on the daily pre-ride inspection checklist.
• Change both the engine oil and filter after 20 hours or one month.
• See “Owner’s Manual” for additional break-in information.

Compression and Leakdown Tests
NOTE: This engine does NOT have decompression
components. Compression readings will vary in
proportion to cranking speed during the test.
Smooth idle generally indicates good compression. Low engine
compression is rarely a factor in running condition problems
above idle speed. Abnormally high compression can be caused
by worn or damaged exhaust cam lobes.
A cylinder leak-down test is the best indication of engine
condition. Follow tester manufacturer’s instructions to perform
a cylinder leak-down test. (Never use high pressure leakage
testers as crankshaft seals may dislodge and leak).

MAINTENANCE
COOLING SYSTEM
Cooling System Overview
The engine coolant level is controlled, or maintained, by the
recovery system. The recovery system components are the
recovery bottle, radiator filler neck, radiator pressure cap and
connecting hose.
As coolant operating temperature increases, the expanding
(heated) excess coolant is forced out of the radiator past the
pressure cap and into the recovery bottle. As engine coolant
temperature decreases the contracting (cooled) coolant is drawn
back up from the bottle, past the pressure cap, and into the
radiator.
NOTE: Some coolant level drop on new vehicles is
normal as the system is purging itself of trapped air.
Observe coolant level often during the break-in
period.
CAUTION
Overheating of engine could occur if air is not
fully purged from system.
Polaris recommends the use of Polaris Premium 60/40 antifreeze/coolant or a 50/50 mixture of high quality aluminum
compatible anti-freeze/coolant and distilled water.
NOTE: Polaris Premium 60/40 is already premixed
and ready to use. Do not dilute with water.
With the engine at operating temperature, the coolant level
should be between the MAX and MIN marks on the coolant
recovery bottle. If not, perform the following procedure.
1.Position the vehicle on a level surface.
2.View the coolant level in the recovery bottle. The coolant
level can be viewed from inside the front right wheel well.
3.If the coolant level is below the “MIN” line on the bottle,
remove the front rack assembly to access the radiator
pressure cap and recovery bottle cap.
NOTE: If overheating is evident, allow system to
cool completely and check coolant level in the
radiator and inspect for signs of trapped air in
system.
2
Coolant Level Inspection
The pressure cap and recovery bottle are located underneath the
front rack as shown below. Maintain the coolant level between
the “MIN” and “MAX” levels indicated on the recovery bottle.
WARNING
Never remove the pressure cap when the
engine is warm or hot. Escaping steam can
cause severe burns. The engine must be cool
before removing the pressure cap.
4.Remove the pressure cap. Using a funnel, add coolant to
the top of the radiator filler neck.
5.Reinstall the pressure cap.
NOTE: Use of a non-standard pressure cap will not
allow the recovery system to function properly.
6.Remove recovery bottle cap and add coolant using a funnel.
7.Fill recovery bottle to “MAX” level with Polaris Premium
60/40 Anti-Freeze/Coolant or a 50/50 mixture of antifreeze/coolant and distilled water as required for freeze
protection in your area.
8.Reinstall the recovery bottle cap.
2.21
MAINTENANCE
9.If coolant was required, start engine and check for leaks.
Make sure radiator fins are clean to prevent overheating.
10. Add coolant as needed. Maintain the coolant level between
the “MIN” and “MAX” marks on the bottle.
11. Reinstall the front rack assembly.
Cooling System Hoses
1.Inspect all hoses for cracks, deterioration, abrasion or
leaks. Replace if necessary.
Coolant Strength / Type
Test the strength of the coolant using an antifreeze hydrometer .
Antifreeze Hydrometer
• A 50/50 or 60/40 mixture of antifreeze and distilled
water will provide the optimum cooling, corrosion
protection, and antifreeze protection.
• Do not use tap water, straight antifreeze, or straight
water in the system. Tap water contains minerals and
impurities which build up in the system.
• Straight water or antifreeze may cause the system to
freeze, corrode, or overheat.
=
Recommended Anti-Freeze/Coolant:

EFI SERVICE NOTES
For more convenient and accurate testing of EFI components, it
is recommended dealers utilize the Digital Wrench™
Diagnostic Software (dealer only), or limited testing may be
done manually using the procedures provided.
80% of all EFI problems are caused by wiring harness
connections. Follow a common sense approach when
diagnosing a potential EFI issue:
1.Disconnect the harness at the suspected sensor connector.
2.Inspect the connector ends for damage or contamination. If
damaged, repair; if contaminated, clean. Reconnect and
check function.
3.If problem persists, perform a sensor bench test according
to the specific sensor requirements (if applicable).
4.If the sensor bench tests pass, disconnect the connector at
the ECU and perform a continuity check between the sensor
connector and the appropriate pin at the ECU connector (all
connections for that sensor). Wiring resistance should be
less than one (1) ohm.
3
Lift white retainer
before removing
3.Pull out on the fuel line and remove it from the pump outlet.
4.To install the line, verify the connector and fuel pump outlet
are clean and free of debris.
5.Place the connector end over the fuel pump outlet and push
the white retainer and tabs back into place.
NOTE: Confirm attachment by pulling on the fuel line.
6.Repeat this process when removing the fuel line from the
fuel rail.
Fuel Pump
Outlet
5.If the resistance is high (or open), a wiring harness
inspection is required (including a thorough inspection of
the ECU connector for contamination or damage).
6.If the sensor passes and the wiring passes insp ection, and
reconnecting the ECU does not resolve the issue, then at
that point a known-good ECU (from another Polaris 850)
may be used to test for problem resolution.
• Never attempt to service any fuel system component
while engine is running or ignition switch "on".
• USE CARE when removing or installing the ECU
connector, as well as all other harness connections on
the unit. Properly connect and disconnect the ECU
harness to minimize damage to the connector pins and
locking mechanism.
• Although every precaution has been taken to prevent
water intrusion failure, avoid direct water or spray
contact with system components.
• Do not disconnect or reconnect the wiring harness
connector to the ECU or any individual components
with the ignition "on." This can send a damaging
voltage spike through the ECU.
• Do not allow battery cables to touch opposite terminals.
Fuel Rail
• Never start the engine when the cables are loose or
poorly connected to the battery terminals.
• Never disconnect battery while engine is running.
• Always unplug ECU from the wire harness before
performing any welding on the unit.

General Information
The Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) system is a complete engine
fuel and ignition management design. This system includes the
following principal components:
• Fuel Pump / Fuel Filters / Pressure Regulator
• Fuel Line
• Fuel Rail
• Fuel Injectors
• Throttle Body / lntegrated Air Fuel Manifold (IAFM)
• Electronic Control Unit (ECU)
• Ignition Coil
• Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor (ECT)
• Throttle Position Sensor (TPS)
• Crankshaft Position Sensor (CPS)
• Intake Air Temperature / Manifold Absolute
Pressure Sensor (T-MAP)
• Idle Air Control (IAC)
The ECU controls the amount of fuel being injected and the
ignition timing by monitoring the primary senso r signals for
intake air temperature, manifold absolute pressure (load),
engine temperature, speed (RPM), and throttle position. These
primary signals are compared to the programming in the ECU
computer chip, and the ECU adjusts the fuel delivery and
ignition timing to match the values.
During operation the ECU has the ability to re-adjust
temporarily, providing compensation for changes in overall
engine condition and operating environment, so it will be able
to maintain the ideal air/fuel ratio.
During certain operating periods such as cold starts, warm up,
acceleration, etc., a richer air / fuel ratio is automatically
calculated by the ECU.
Initial Priming / Starting Procedure
NOTE: The injection system must be purged of all
air prior to the initial start up, and / or any time the
system has been disassembled.
If the EFI system is completely empty of fuel or has been
disassembled and repaired:

• Wire Harness Assembly
EFI Operation Overview
The EFI system is designed to provide peak engine performance
with optimum fuel efficiency and lowest possible emissions.
The ignition and injection functions are electronically
controlled, monitored and continually corrected during
operation to maintain peak performance.
The central component of the system is the Bosch Engine
Control Unit (ECU) which manages system operation,
determining the best combination of fuel mixture and ignition
timing for the current operating conditions.
An in-tank electric fuel pump is used to move fuel from the tank,
through the fuel line, to the fuel rail. The in-tank fuel pressure
regulator maintains a system operating pressure of 43 psi and
returns any excess fuel to the tank. At the engine, fuel is fed
through the fuel rail and into the injectors, which inject into the
intake ports. The ECU controls the amount of fuel by varying the
length of time that the injectors are "on." This can range from
1.5-8.0 milliseconds depending on fuel requirements. The
controlled injection of the fuel occurs every other crankshaft
revolution, or once for each 4-stroke cycle. The total amount of
fuel needed for one firing of a cylinder is injected during each
cycle. When the intake valve opens, the fuel/air mixture is
drawn into the combustion chamber, ignited and burned.
1.Cycle the key switch from “OFF” to “ON” 6 times,
waiting for approximately 3 seconds at each “ON” cycle to
allow the fuel pump to cycle and shut down.
2.Once step 1 is completed, turn the key switch to “START”
until the engine starts or 5 seconds has passed.
3.If the engine failed to start, repeat step 1 for 2 more cycles
and attempt to start the engine.
If the engine fails to start, a problem may still exist, and should
be diagnosed.
NOTE: Accurate testing of EFI components is
recommended utilizing the Digital Wrench™
Diagnostic Software (dealer only).
3.9
ELECTRONIC FUEL INJECTION
ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNIT (ECU)
Operation Overview
The ECU is the brain or central processing computer of the
entire EFI fuel/ignition management system. During operation,
sensors continuously gather data which is relayed thro ugh the
wiring harness to input circuits within the ECU. Signals to the
ECU include: ignition (on/off), crankshaft position and speed
(RPM), throttle position, engine coolant temperature, intake air
temperature, intake manifold air pressure and battery voltage.
The ECU compares the input signals to the programmed maps
in its memory and determines the appropriate fuel and spark
requirements for the immediate operating conditions. The ECU
then sends output signals to set the injector duration and ignition
timing.
To prevent engine over-speed and possible failure, an RPMlimiting feature is programmed into the ECU. If the maximum
RPM limit (8000) is exceeded, the ECU suppresses the injection
signals, cutting off the fuel flow. This process repeats it self in
rapid succession, limiting operation to the preset maximum.
Maximum RPM Limit: 8000
SPORTSMAN XP 850 RPM Limit:
Hard Limit - Fuel injector suppression occurs
• All Gears: 8000 RPM
Soft Limit - Spark timing suppression occurs
• All Gears: 7500 RPM
ECU Service
Never attempt to disassemble the ECU. It is sealed to prevent
damage to internal components. Warranty is void if the case is
opened or tampered with in any way.
All operating and control functions within the ECU are pre-set.
No internal servicing or readjustment may be performed. If a
problem is encountered, and you determine the ECU to be
faulty, contact the Polaris Service Department for specific
handling instructions. Do not replace the ECU without factory
authorization.
During operation, the ECU continually performs a diagnostic
check of itself, each of the sensors, and system performance. If
a fault is detected, the ECU turns on the “Check Engine” light
in the speedometer and 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 initiating the “Blink Code”
sequence 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.
The relationship between the ECU and the throttle position
sensor (TPS) is very critical to proper system operation. If the
TPS is faulty, or the mounting position of the TPS to the throttle
body is altered, the TPS must be adjusted.
For the purpose of troubleshooting, a known-good ECU from
another Polaris Sportsman XP 850 of the same model may be
used without system or engine component damage.

FUEL PUMP
Operation
NOTE: All EFI units utilize quick connect fuel lines.
An electric fuel pump assembly is used to transfer fuel to the EFI
system from inside the fuel tank. This assembly includes the fuel
pump, regulator and fuel gauge sender. The pump is rated for a
minimum output of 25 liters per hour at 4 3 psi and has a nonserviceable preliminary 65-micron filter.

When the key switch is turned to "ON", the ECU activates the
fuel pump, which pressurizes the system for start-up.
The ECU switches off the pump preventing the continued
delivery of fuel in these instances:
• If the key switch is not promptly turned to the "start"
position.
• If the engine fails to start.
• If the engine is stopped with the key switch "ON" (as in
the case of an accident).

FUEL INJECTORS
Operation Overview
The fuel injectors mount into the Integrated Air Fuel Manifold
(IAFM), and the fuel rail attaches to the top end of them.
Replaceable O-rings on both ends of the injector prevent
external fuel leaks and also insulate it from heat and vibration.
Pressure
Valve
When the key switch is on, the fuel rail is pressurized, and the
EFI relay provides voltage to the injectors. During engine
operation, the ECU completes the ground circuit, energizing the
injectors. The valve needle in the injector is opened
electromagnetically , and the pressure in the fuel rail forces fuel
down through the inside. The “director plate” at the tip of the
injector contains a series of calibrated openings which directs
the fuel into the intake port in a cone-shaped spray pattern.
Damper
Fuel Injectors
FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR
Operation Overview
The fuel pressure regulator maintains the required operating
system pressure of 43 psi ± 3 psi. A rubber-fiber diaphragm
divides the regulator into two separate sections, the fuel
chamber and the pressure regulating chamber. The pressure
regulating spring presses against the valve holder (part of the
diaphragm), pressing the valve against the valve seat. The
combination of atmospheric pressure and regulating spring
tension equals the desired operating pressure. Any time the fuel
pressure against the bottom of the diaphragm exceeds the
desired (top) pressure, the valve opens, relieving the excess
pressure, returning the excess fuel back to the tank.
Fuel Pressure Regulator Test
Refer to the “Fuel Pump Test” procedure.
Fuel Pressure Regulator Replacement
The regulator is a sealed, non-serviceable assembly. If it is
faulty, the fuel tank assembly must be replaced. Refer to the
“Fuel Pump / Tank Assembly Replacement” procedure.
The amount of fuel injected is controlled by the ECU and
determined by the length of time the valve needle is held open,
also referred to as the “injection duration” or “pulse width”. It
may vary in length depending on the speed and load
requirements of the engine.
Fuel Injector Service
Injector problems typically fall into three general categorieselectrical, dirty / clogged, or leakage. An electrical problem
usually causes one or both of the injectors to stop functioning.
Several methods may be used to check if the injectors are
operating.
NOTE: Do not apply voltage directly to the fuel
injectors. Excessive voltage will burn out the
injectors. Do not ground the injectors with the
ignition on. The injectors will open if the EFI relay is
energized.
If an injector is not operating, it can indicate either a bad injector,
or a wiring/electrical connection problem. Check as follows:
3.14
ELECTRONIC FUEL INJECTION
Injector leakage is very unlikely, but in rare instances it can be
internal (past the tip of the valve needle), or external (weeping
around the injector body). The loss of system pressure from the
leakage can cause hot restart problems and longer cranking
times.
Injector problems due to dirt or clogging are unlikely due to the
design of the injectors, the high fuel pressure, the use of filters
and the detergent additives in the gasoline. Symptoms that could
be caused by dirty/clogged injectors include rough idle,
hesitation/stumble during acceleration, or triggering of fault
codes related to fuel delivery. Injector clogging is usually caused
by a buildup of deposits on the director plate, restricting the flow
of fuel, resulting in a poor spray pattern. Some contributing
factors to injector clogging include; dirty air filters, higher than
normal operating temperatures, short operating intervals and
dirty, incorrect, or poor quality fuel. Cleaning of clogged
injectors is not recommended; they should be replaced.
Additives and higher grades of fuel can be used as a preventative
measure if clogging has been a problem.
Fuel Injector Test
If an injector is not operating, it can indicate either a bad injector,
or a wiring/electrical connection problem. Check as follows:
• Remove the seat, left-hand side panel, and disconnect
the fuel injector(s).
6.Carefully disconnect the ECU by pulling the tab out while
pulling down on the connector.
7.Loosen the hose clamp retaining the intake boot to the

CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR
(CPS)
Operation Overview
The engine speed sensor is essential to engine operation,
constantly monitoring the rotational speed (RPM) and position
of the crankshaft.
CPS
“Removed”
A ferromagnetic 60-tooth ring gear with two consecutive teeth
missing is mounted on the flywheel. The inductive speed sensor
is mounted 1.0 ± 0.26 mm (0.059 ± 0.010 in.) aw ay from the
ring gear. During rotation, an AC pulse is created within the
sensor for each passing tooth. The ECU calculates engine speed
from the time interval between the consecutive pulses. The twotooth gap creates an “interrupt” input signal, corresponding to
specific crankshaft position. This signal serves as a reference for
the control of ignition timing by the ECU. Synchro nization of
the CPS and crankshaft position takes place during the first two
revolutions each time the engine is started. This sensor must be
properly connected at all times. If the sensor fails or becomes
disconnected for any reason, the engine will stop running.

processed by the ECU and compared to its programming for
determining the fuel and ignition requirements during
operation.

replaced. This sensor requires a 5 Vdc input to operate, therefore
the T-MAP sensor should only be tested using the Digital
Wrench™ Diagnostic Software (dealer only).
IDLE AIR CONTROL VALVE (IAC)
Operation Overview
The Idle Air Control (IAC) is used to stabilize the idle quality of
the engine at cold start-up and after warm-up operations.
IAC
3
Mounted in front of the engine, the IAC contains 1 stepper motor
which receives varying voltage signal pulses from the ECU.
These pulses determine the IAC plunger setting, thereby
controlling the amount of air bypassing the closed throttle body
for idle control. If the IAC is disconnected or inoperative, it will
remain at it’s last operated position.
IAC Test
The IAC is a non-serviceable item. If it is faulty, it must be
replaced. It can be ‘bench tested’ using the following method:
Set your meter to read Ohms. Check the resistance values at
each of the following pin locations of the IAC. If any of the
readings are out of specification, replace the IAC

THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR (TPS)
Operation Overview
The throttle position sensor (TPS) is used to indicate throttle
plate angle to the ECU.
TPS
Mounted on the throttle body and operated directly off the end
of the throttle shaft, the TPS works like a rheostat, vary ing th e
voltage signal to the ECU in direct correlation to the angle of the
throttle plate. This signal is processed by the ECU and compared
to the internal pre-programmed “maps” to determine the
required fuel and ignition settings for the amount of engine load.
The correct position of the throttle body
stop screw is established and set at the
factory. DO NOT remove the tamper proof
cap to adjust the throttle body stop screw or
alter its position in any manner. The stop
screw controls the air flow calibration

A 5 volt reference voltage signal from the TPS Tester harness is
required for the TPS test to be accurate. Refer to the instructions
provided with the TPS T ester Kit (2201519) or follow the bullet
point steps below to check reference voltage.
Reference Voltage Test:
• Insert black voltmeter probe into the “Bk” test port.
• Connect the red voltmeter probe into the “R” test port
and verify the voltage is 4.99-5.01 Vdc. If this reading
is low, verify the 9 volt battery is good or try a new 9
volt battery.

ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE
SENSOR (ECT)
Operation Overview
The engine coolant temperature sensor measures coolant
temperature. The engine temperature sensor is a Negative
Temperature Coef ficient (NTC) type sensor, as the temperature
increases the resistance decreases.
6.Remove the (2) Phillips-head mounting screws and replace
the TPS.
IMPORTANT: If replacing the TPS or throttle body,
you must perform the “TPS Adjustment” procedure.
7.Refer to “TPS Adjustment” for setting the TPS voltage.
Coolant passes through the cylinder and by the sensor probe,
varying a resistance reading which is relayed to the ECU. This
signal is processed by the ECU and compared to its
programming for determining the fuel and ignition
requirements during operation. The ECU also uses this signal to
determine when to activate the fan during operation.
ECT Sensor Test
To quickly rule out other components and wiring related to the
ECT, disconnect the harness from the ECT sensor and start the
engine. After a few seconds, the fan should turn on and the
“Over Temp” indicator should display on the instrument cluster .
This indicates all other components are working properly.
Refer to Chapter 4 for additional ECT information. Polaris
dealers can test the sensor by using the Digital Wrench™
Diagnostic Software (dealer only).

IGNITION COIL
Operation Overview
The ignition coil is used to provide high voltage to fire the spark
plugs. When the ignition key is on, DC voltage is present in
primary side of the ignition coil windings. During engine
rotation, an AC pulse is created within the crankshaft position
sensor for each passing tooth on the flywheel. The two-tooth
gap creates an “interrupt” input signal, corresponding to specific
crankshaft position. This signal serves as a reference for the
control of ignition timing. The ECU then calculates the time
interval between the consecutive pulses, and determines when
to trigger the voltage spike that induces the voltage from the
primary to the secondary coil windings to fire the spark plugs.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Cooling System
Overheating
• Low coolant level
• Air in cooling system
• Wrong type/mix of coolant
• Faulty pressure cap or system leaks
• Restricted system (mud or debris in radiator fins
causing restriction to air flow, passages blocked in
radiator, lines, pump, or water jacket, accident damage)
• Lean mixture (fuel system restriction)
• Fuel pump output weak
• Electrical malfunction
• Water pump failure/ Loose impeller
• Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor failure
• Cooling fan inoperative or turning too slowly (perform
current draw test)
Installation
1.Install the thermostat, thermostat cover, and the (2) screws.
Torque screws to specification.
