I have a 2004 800 RMK with some wiring issues. My Temp sensor is not wired in the same on my sled as the wiring diagrams states it is suppose to be. My black temp sensor wire is spliced in the harness to the black wire off of the TPS and then it goes into the TPS pin for the CDI. The brown wire off of the temp sensor is in the correct location(pin 7). Pin 21 which is suppose to be the black temp wire is empty on the harness. If I wire the temp sensor in the way it states on the diagram the CDI goes into full out lim mode. Can anyone explain why my sled is wired this way and what is correct?

Not having a wiring diagram I can only guess but I would suspect both pin 21 and the pin where the TPS black go are common ground points so it doesn't really matter. I suspect pin 21 has a problem within the CDI unit so someone moved the wire to where it is now. I wouldn't worry about it. Are you having problems or just checking things over?
Tps black is common ground but pin 21 is 5v this was verified on 2 cdis. I am having running issues. My timing is retarted 5 degrees @ 8000 rpm. I have tried multiple temp sensors. Verified I have an 18 deg flywheel and verified timing at 3250rpm. I have no det light flashing or temp light fault. Tps was disconnected to check timing.
Do you have the wiring diagram for either an 02 or an 03 non-Escape you can compare to? I'm wondering if someone tried to use the pre-DET wiring harness on a DET setup.

Can you swap the CDI with a known good one? It still wouldn't explain why pin 21 is vacant though in your harness.
