If you don’t know what a kill switch for the car is, you will have a difficult time choosing between these five types. A kill switch is something that must be activated to get the car started. If it’s not activated, a specific circuit will not be completed. It is much easier to install a switch that kills the specific fuses you choose. You run the switch to the appropriate fuses and place it in an inconspicuous location. Kill Switch Cost If this test is OK, install the sensor and be sure to follow the steps in the most current version of the Sensor install guide. After selecting the gear range, the gearing is handled automatically by the transmission and clutches. The other end of the engine management relay coul is grounded so ECU is powered wnenever ignition and kill are conducting.

Make sure the label on the unit is “iQSE”. If you see “QSE” you have the first generation module and it’s not compatible with iOS devices.

Some ATVs use a mechanical lever to switch between 2×4 and 4×4. Hand and Seat Warmer Switch (If Equipped) Depending on how lazy you are getting, you can also do something with the ignition switch. Disconnect the outgoing "ignition" wire and connect it to a latching relay. Fit a momentary push button to the panel, which, when pressed will open/close the relay. You can then parallel this button to the tiller position with the other two buttons. The key switch below would only be used to start the engine, although you could of course remove it and fit a button/switch.

Gear shifting controls on Manual ATVs: Some youth ATVs or budget adult models come with a manual gearbox and a foot pedal to shift between gears. In addition, you’ll find a clutch hand lever that needs to be compressed each time you switch gears, like on a car with a manual gearbox. Most modern ATVs have a rev limiter to prevent unintentional, fast acceleration when in reverse. Unintended acceleration can happen when the rider’s leg or hip accidentally pushes on the throttle switch while driving in reverse. When the switch is OFF, the engine will not run. Use this switch to turn off the engine in an emergency. Momentary High Beam Switch Use this switch to start and stop the ATV. Insert the correct key to turn the switch. The switch typically has three or four positions:

Before riding an ATV for the first time, you must learn and understand the basic controls to operate the vehicle safely. This guide covers all the main controls on most modern ATVs. This switch is installed on the battery, just like the wired version. With the use of magnets, the switch allows the use of the battery when you want to drive, and turns it off when you are protecting your car. However, you are going to run into the same memory issues that were found with the last battery option. Pressing and holding this switch will activate the headlight high beam. The light will return to the low-beam position after the button is released. This feature can be used to signal other drivers. Mode Switch Noticing the warning early and identifying what’s causing the alarm can prevent expensive repairs down the line. The QSX harness has a module integrated with which the ECM does not detect the ignition cut and the FI light will not come on.

Another type that gets installed on the battery is this remote-controlled option. You can keep the remote on your keys for easy access. What’s great about this option is that you can activate it any time you feel nervous about suspicious activity, even if you aren’t in your vehicle. By activating the reverse override switch, you temporarily deactivate the rev-limiter as long the button is pressed. Use this switch with caution. It’s easy to lose control of the bike while driving fast in reverse. Winch Switch Before starting the installation, make sure you got the correct parts. Use our Product Advisor to find the part numbers suitable for your bike. There are times the shifts are really smooth, at other times it’s rough, i.e. the shift feel is not consistentDepending on your ATV’s transmission, it may have an electric 4X4 switch that toggles between 2X4, 4X4, and other modes such as 4X4 ADC or other model-specific transmission modes and features. If you squeeze the lever too hard, your wheels may begin to skid or slide. If this happens, reduce lever pressure to regain control of the vehicle. Please continue reading to learn more about how each control mechanism works and what it does. Throttle Lever Press the throttle lever to increase engine speed and vehicle movement. Release the throttle lever to reduce engine speed and vehicle movement. Be alert for any fault codes or warning lights on your ATV. These are early signs that there might be an issue with your vehicle. Whether the ignition key or the switch turned the power off, it keeps that relay powered on (via pin 86) for several seconds, giving itself time to "shut down" properly.
