Polaris 850xp Throttle Issue (see description)

[@revbake]

Oh man, you are a life saver. Mine was plugged full of dirt. Clean, grease, and bam. Running.

[@upthecreekyt]

Great! Happy to help.

[@revbake]

@Dead Zone never had a problem after that.

[@100walker]

Great video. I even read all the comments. You seem to have a great attitude as well.

[@upthecreekyt]

Thank you very much. This issue caused me some frustration, so I just wanted to try and save some other people a headache so they could get back to riding. I appreciate the kind words.

[@paulspencer8590]

How do you unplug it, can’t figure it out. Thanks Paul

[@robbs34]

Do you know how to check the stored codes on this Polaris model?

[@just4shietts822]

Just got the same code with my 2011 850. Gonna try and take it out clean it up and we'll see got a ride planned for next Saturday so here's hoping!

[@upthecreekyt]

It'd be awesome if it works for you. I haven't had any issues with mine since I did this. Let me know if it works.

[@just4shietts822]

Still got the code, so I tried adjusting the throttle adjuster where the two contact points meet to get a wider gap. It worked no more 520194-7 code. Went for a little rip than a new code came up.520211-3 code saying idle speed to high. Than it went away lol hopefully it stays gone! I read it could be related to a bad tps.

Instablaster.

​@@just4shietts822do you fix the code 520 194 3 cuz having the same problem try everything and nothing still the same code

[@just4shietts822]

@Carlos Mercado this code still comes back for me. I've seen other vids saying it could be cause from different things. Havnt found the exact reason yet... very frustrating

[@johnkohen5326]

Howed you get that plug out

[@upthecreekyt]

There's a small clip you have to trip to remove it.

[@carlosbriceno9857]

Hola buenas noches perdona que falla presentaba muchas gracias por su atención prestada saludos

[@07yfz470]

Can you post a video on unplugging that connection? I cant figure it out for the life of me..

[@upthecreekyt]

No problem. I'll put one up tonight.

[@upthecreekyt]

It's up bud. Hope it helps.

[@07yfz470]

Thank you! I keep getting an intermittent check engine light as soon as i hit the throttle. Cuts all power. I took the entire switch apart, cleaned it, cleaned connections and going to put it back together with grease. Hope it helps.

[@rogerfuller7876]

@@07yfz470 follow your throttle cable, see if it’s hitting the computer corner! There’s a plastic lip that mine is sitting on and catching the throttle cable itself and it’s losing the power. I’m thinking about getting some good gas and a match n possibly walking away to see what happens. This is my next go to!

[@don780780]

How did you get to the codes I had e a 2019 sportsman 850

[@upthecreekyt]

Scroll through with the select(SEL) button beside the mode button until you get to the code. It will be a six digit number followed by a space and then a single digit or a two digit number(depending on the code).

[@dennisferris4671]

Was it code #520194 2?

[@upthecreekyt]

I can't remember 100%, but I believe that was it.

[@northernatomicalatv9262]

​@@dennisferris4671 if that was the code what would the idle have to be set at

[@jessehamm8392]

That's got nothing to do with it. Its them 2 metal contacts inside the throttle housing. Throttle cable adjustment is needed.

[@upthecreekyt]

If you say so bud. Funny how adjusting the throttle cable did nothing, but this fixed it.

[@dewalt4594]

@@upthecreekyt Don't you just love know it alls . Thanks for the video. I m going to try it tomorrow for sure. All I did is pull it off my trailer and tried to drive it across the yard an I barely made it. It went on the trailer just fine tho. Doesn't make any sense

[@upthecreekyt]

@@dewalt4594 It's all good. He might have stuff going on we don't wanna know about. Rather them take the frustration out on me. I can take it. I hope doing this helps fix your issue. Let me know how it goes.

[@dewalt4594]

@@upthecreekyt Yes sir I will. Hopefully it works.

[@dancraig1162]

Not true. same code here and throttle cable is perfect. mine is intermittent as seeing this video i have not tried the fix. i get the 2 and 7

[@ProTurbo1988]
