Hey folks,
First time post for me.
I've got a 2011 Ranger 500 4X4 EFI. It was a hand me down from my father, who wasn't a maintenance type of guy, so I'm trying to give it some TLC. I have some error codes I'm trying to resolve. I think I may be on the right path, but could use some tips. Machine runs fairly well aside from a rough idle. TB has been cleaned and valves have been set.
I have a code 22 for the TPS. I think this is my fault. A few days ago I loosened the TPS thinking it was the IAC. Once I realized my error I was able to see markings in the plastic from the washers and just tried to put it as close to it's original position as possible. Seemed to work and at that point I had no code. Yesterday I decided to do the "right" thing and meter it. I back probed the orange wire and have 5v signal. I back probed and metered across the green wire to the battery ground, and set the TPS to 1.12v, as per the manual. This is when the code appeared. After some more research I think perhaps I should have been measuring the voltage across the green and purple wire to set the TPS properly. Anyone have any insight on this? I know these machines are notorious for wiring issues but mine have all been cable tied to prevent vibration. The connectors have been removed from their sensors and the wires moved around quite a bit lately, but the first sign of the TPS code was after I adjusted it, so I'm inclined to think I made an error.
My other code is a 51 for the injector. Would a good first step in diagnoses be to check the fuel pressure? I've read this is a common issue. I believe the pump was replaced by my father with an aftermarket unit for a Hyundai, but not sure about the regulator and such, and I don't think he actually ever checked the pressure before or after.
If I remove the Pos battery cable for a bit both codes appear again immediately, before the engine has been started again.
Any help would be appreciated.
