Hoping someone can assist in providing help in how I go about getting my machine to do the self diagnostic to produce codes.
The manual says to put machine in P, turn off engine and switch ON/OFF 3 times within 5 seconds and a WAIT light will appear before the self diagnostic runs.

I cannot get the WAIT light to appear to initiate the diagnostic.
Do I need the brake engaged, do I need to be in a certain mode, ...?
Any help appreciated, like a step by step process.
Thanks

The EFI diagnostic mode is for informational purposes only. Please see your Polaris dealer for all major repairs.
See page 53 for Blink Codes and Failure Descriptions. Use the follow- ing procedure to download blink codes (failure codes) from the EFI module.
1. Place the transmission in PARK. Stop the engine. Turn the key switch to the ON position.
2. Turn the key switch off and on three times in less than five seconds. The word “WAIt” will appear on the screen.
3. The Check Engine icon will blink once, pause, then blink twice (blink code 12) to begin the diagnostic sequence. The EFI module is now searching for blink codes. If a code exists, the Check Engine icon will flash the code.
4. Count the number of times the Check Engine icon flashes.
Example: For the two blink codes 42 and 36, the Check Engine icon will flash 4 times, pause, then flash 2 times (code 42), then pause longer, blink 3 times, pause, and blink 6 times (code 36).
5. A code 61 will signal the end of the sequence. If no blink codes are found, only codes 12 and 61 will appear during the sequence.
NOTE: The word “WAIt” will remain on the screen through this entire process.
