2000 seadoo xp vts trim problems

[rowdyman2004]

i took the motor off and tested that and it works... what do i check now. it seems like it does not get power to the motor. the guage works. and when i push the trim button down it clicks right behind the motor so whats the next step.

Hi there.

You need to look for a 7.5A fuse for the VTS and see if it blew. It is either in the VTS box or the engine controller box under a waterproof fuse holder.

Keep in mind that the fuse blew for a reason. So check the VTS module's interior for water or corrosion.

i checked the fuse it is blown, replaced it and it continues to blow, now what should i do?

Sounds like you gotta short somewhere. Start at the switch and check every wire coming out of it, look for cuts, anything. Then go to the VTS motor do the same thing.

the fuse blows as soon as i put the lanyard on to power up the ski? the guage still shows where the trim is. but nothing else.

Always confirm that the fuse is in good condition. The7.5 amp fuse is in the MPEM module. Check the motor with a multimeter. Install the test probes on both the Blue/Orange and the Green/ Orange wires. Resistance should be close to 1.5 ohm.
If the motor seems to jam and it hasn’t reached the end of its stroke, the following test could be performed.
Remove the motor from the VTS. Manually rotate worm gear to verify the VTS for free operation. Connect it directly through a 15 amp fuse to a 12 volt battery. Connect wires one way, and then switch the polarity of the wires to see it work in the other direction. If it does run in both directions it could be the VTS module. If the VTS motor does not stop at the end of its stroke then the motor could be defective.

The VTS module receives it current from a 7.5 amp fuse in the MPEM.
Disconnect the Brown/Black wire and the Brown/White wire from the VTS module. Connect the probes of the multimeter to the 2 wires of the module. Push the start stop button to activate the MPEM timer,(gives power for 33 sec. without running engine). Push the VTS switch down position until motor stops. The ohm resistance reading should be 24 ohms+-1%. Push the switch button up until the motor stops and the resistance should be 167ohms+-1%. This test isn’t perfect but it should be close.

I hope this test helps you out.
