Hey guys, trying to troubleshoot my VTS not working on my ski. I pulled out the service manual and tested the VTS switch and got unexpected results. The manual tells you to disconnect the VTS switch connector, set the multimeter to ohm and test the wires as follows:
FYI - this ski partially sank and had the engine rebuilt by me after the rubber boot on the VTS arm became brittle and let water in through the VTS module. I replaced the VTS motor but nothing seems to work. The nozzle is stuck in the full up position per the readout on the dash. The VTS fuse looks good. The last time I rode it I also had some issues with the start button seemingly not working at times. I would press the button and no sounds would occur. It only seemed to do this when the ski was warm. I cleaned some corrosion off the battery terminals and it seems to be working ok but haven't truly tested that yet. I'll keep a piece of wire in the ski to jump the start solenoid for now in case I have issues.
- Black and Blue/White
- VTS Switch pressed: 0-20 ohm getting 21 ohm when down button pressed - a little out of range
- VTS Switch released: OL (open) getting 48 ohm when no button pressed - issue
- Black and Green/White
- VTS Switch pressed: 0-20 ohm getting 30 ohm when up button pressed - far out of range
- VTS Switch released: OL (open) getting 50 ohm when no button pressed - issue
