Thanks for your comment. The value will be in the service manual. For this particular model I don't have the service manual, but someone in the forums who does said it lists 0.67 for the 2013 850 (and 0.71 for the 2012 model), and my second source was a customer with the 2013 Scrambler 850, see his video here: ua-cam.com/video/kWj8faYjZ00/v-deo.html If you want to be super sure and double check me, just get your hands on the service manual. Note that Polaris will often change the TPS reading between years so be sure to get the manual for the correct year. Everything else will appear the same but the TPS setting changes. I hope this helps, please let me know if you have any other questions, and also please let me know if you think I've got an error.
@@thomasmoore8316 Thank you very much for the feedback, I'm glad it's helpful! If you could please post back after you receive the manual and verify the number I would greatly appreciate it!
Thanks for your question. They can go bad in a few different ways. The most common way I've seen is when the numbers continually change even though the throttle is not moving. To test yours, watch the reading. If you're not touching the throttle, the reading should not change. Then slowly open and close the throttle. If the numbers change smoothly then the TPS is most likely good. If the numbers get stuck or jump around then the TPS is most likely bad. Or if it does not give a reading at all then it's most likely bad. I hope this helps!.
Is the 2015 scrambler 850 ho the same values if not what is the idle voltage yes i moved the screw.and the 2015 i cant get it to go on if i opean the throttle wide opean .help please
Send me an email (my address is on the first line of the instructions in the box) and I'll help you out as best I can. The value changes by year on the Scrambler, we've got several of the years on our common settings page ( www.tpstool.com/common_tps_settings.htm ) but not that exact year as of today. You can get the manual online for a few bucks and that will have the exact value in it, or you can try the values we have for the other years and see which one works. Are you using an OEM TPS, or an aftermarket? Send me the info in the email and I'll help the best that I can.
Thank you very much for your comment. I didn't find a free download of the manual for your exact model year online, but if you can get your hands on the service manual for your year then the setting will be in there. Looking at the other model years and taking a guess, yours could likely be 0.67V or 0.71V. Maybe write down your original reading in case you want to revert back to it, and try these two settings. Please post back and let us know what you find out. :)
Thanks for the reply. I just ordered the service manual and I will find out and reply back in case someone else needs it. I Have to troubleshoot some other things before I get to the tps.
So according to the manual for 2016 Polaris Scrambler 850 HO Output Reading Using polaris digital tool 3.3 V Reference Voltage = 0.46 V Using your 5V tps tool would be .70 V Also some resistance checking to test tps: Pin 2 to pin 3 Throttle position Closed to Open 1000 - 5000 ohms +/- 1k ohm Resistance value should change smoothly as throttle is opened and closed Pin 2 to pin 1 Closed to Open 5000 - 1000 ohms +/- 1k ohms Resistance value should change smoothly as throttle is opened and closed Pin 1 to pin 3 Open OR Closed 5000 ohms +/- 40% NOTE: Reading does not change with throttle position
@@xhali6173 Thank you very much for posting back! If you have a hall effect type sensor (most of the inexpensive aftermarket TPS are hall effect type) then they may not respond to the resistance test the same way a resistive TPS would. If you connect the TPS Tool, does the voltage change as you open the throttle? It will read under 1V at idle and above 3.5V at full throttle if it's connected correctly.
how are you coming up with the .67 number. cant find that any where. thank you

i just got my manual, and you guys are correct. .67 for a 2013, and .71 for a 2012.

@@xhali6173 That would be excellent, thank you in advance!
So according to the manual for 2016 Polaris Scrambler 850 HO
Output Reading
Using polaris digital tool
3.3 V Reference Voltage = 0.46 V
Using your 5V tps tool would be .70 V
Also some resistance checking to test tps:
Pin 2 to pin 3
Throttle position Closed to Open
1000 - 5000 ohms +/- 1k ohm
Resistance value should change
smoothly as throttle is opened and closed
Pin 2 to pin 1
Closed to Open
5000 - 1000 ohms +/- 1k ohms
Resistance value should change
smoothly as throttle is opened and closed
Pin 1 to pin 3

I have a 2013 Polaris 850 H.O. Scrambler and when i put the same meter you have on it, the voltage does not change. HELP?
