EBU30571Electric Power Steering warning light “EPS”
(for EPS model)
This warning light comes on when the key is
turned to “ ” (on), and then goes off once the
engine is started. If the warning light remains on or
comes on after the engine is started, the EPS sys-
tem may not be working correctly. When this oc-
curs, have a Yamaha dealer check the EPS
system.
The electrical circuit of the warning light can be
checked by turning the key to “ ” (on). If the
warning light does not come on, have a Yamaha
dealer check the electrical circuit.
TIP
If the engine is stopped using the engine stop
switch and the key is in the “ ” (on) position,
the EPS warning light comes on to indicate that
the power assistance for the steering is not
functioning.
 If the steering load is too heavy (i.e., excessive
steering use when the ATV is traveling at a slow
speed), the power assist is reduced to protect
the EPS motor from overheating. EBU38280Four-wheel drive indicators
