Detonation Elimination Technology (D.E.T.)
Some P olaris snowmobiles are equipped with a
detonation sensor that monitors the engine and
responds to detonation by automatically reducing
the engine timing. When activated, the
“DET ONATION FLASH” indicator (A) will flash
in the lower right-hand area of the
tachometer. The activated sensor reduces
engine detonation by retarding the
ignition timing. This results in decreased
engine RPM and performance.
D.E.T. Troubleshooting
Use this chart to determine causes and solutions for detonation. If
none of these conditions exists and the sensor remains activated, see
your P olaris dealer.
Possible Cause Solution
Poor quality fuel Replace with higher quality fuel
Improper jetting Verify and adjust per jetting chart
Improper engine modifications Do not modify the engine
