Just finished replacing the bottom end from my sled which was completely flood during hurricane Irene. It tooka little but finally got it running only to find the hazard flashing YPVS issues. I checked the valves and they move freely and where clean before install. They are installed the right way too. When I start the sled and open the throttle the servo does not move. Is there a way to test continuity or some other way to test if it is working? IE could it be the CDI over the servo?
Thanks,
Jeff

Ok, I dug deeper into the manual and found the testing procedure for the servo motor. I haven't checked the main switch yet BUT, wouldn't the switch be ruled out if you could start the sled? Seems like since if the main switch were bad it'd be an all or nothing scenario...

Hard to even speculate with a flooded sled. Flooded is flodded but was it salt water,un salted? Salt is some wicked $hit in electronics. Rebuilding bottom end probably had stator flywheel off and cleaned? I would tend to think servo motor before CDI/relay. That flash code just indicates no return signal from servo. Broken/miss adjusted cables, pull threws wouldnt throw a code out. For what its worth when you get this code fixed you may have others as it starts with the highest number and works down. As in wont flashe 2 codes even if 2 are detected.

Just unplug the servo and remove cables. Use some jumper leads and benchtest with a battery. The pulley should move if good.

It was fresh water. Good to know about the possibility of more codes. I'll watch out for that.
What wires/slots on connector do I connect to to bench test? Probably just going to jam some small spade connectors or solid core wire into the connector...

I assume your Viper is like my SRX that has a test plug (triangle shaped three wire hardshell with two wires - red and black). Apply 12 volts to it and watch for servo movement.
The main reason for my reply is to caution you about jamming a terminal that isn't the correct size into the connector. If you spread the female terminal with an over size male terminal you may be setting yourself up for a future intermittent connection which could drive you batty.
I have a collection of male and female terminals that I test fit first before using them. They should slide in with some effort but not need to be forced.
In fact, I've been burned enough from other folks using pointed meter leads on the mating side of a connector that I do a pin fit first ensuring the terminals have good contact before I begin voltage/resistance checks. If the fit isn't snug, you can sometimes twist the male terminal to make it so and also do a voltage drop test across the connection to ensure you have good continuity.
