2023 Arctic Cat Alterra 600 Black Hills Edition fault codes

What the 64 rows contain

The table opens with 7 C-prefix rows. C0063 and C0064 are the tilt-sensor high and low/short/open rows. C1263 through C1265 cover the backup/reverse circuit, its buzzer, and a low/short/ground state. C1400 is the fuel-level sensor open circuit, and C1418 is a memory power failure. The C group is therefore not just the tilt and reverse circuits: it also carries the fuel-level input and a controller memory condition.

The P block covers the engine and chassis circuits: O2 heater and O2 sensor, MAP, intake-air and coolant temperature, throttle position, fuel-pump relay, cylinder #1 injector, crankshaft angle, EVAP purge, primary and secondary fan relays, vehicle speed, idle air control, engine oil sensor/switch, system voltage, ECM CAN shutdown, starter relay, VIN programming, sensor power, ignition coil, and ignition switch. The table ends with FUEL OFF. The page keeps the manual’s printed order rather than sorting by code.

Why this table is not the shared 2025–2027 table

The 2023 Black Hills table and the 2025–2027 shared table are different publications. The 2023 table has 7 C-codes, 56 P-codes, 0 U-codes, and 1 FUEL OFF row. The shared table has 5 C-codes, 103 P-codes, 2 U-codes, and 1 FUEL OFF row. The 2023 table includes C1400 and C1418, which the shared table does not; the shared table includes U0100 and U0155, which the 2023 table does not.

That difference is why the 2023 rows are not merged into the shared page. A merge would either drop the 2023-only C rows or add rows to a table that the newer manuals do not print. The 2023 page keeps the 2023 sequence intact, and the shared page keeps the 2025–2027 sequence intact. Use the page that matches the manual in hand.

The labels that stop short

5 2023 descriptions have no trailing qualifier: P0233 prints “Fuel Pump Relay Circuit”, P0483 prints “Fan-Secondary/Left Relay Control Circuit”, P0500 prints “Vehicle Speed-Sensor”, P0520 prints “Engine Oil Sensor/Switch”, and P0615 prints “Starter Relay Circuit”. Each code sits near qualified neighbors — P0231 and P0232 for the fuel-pump relay, P0482, P0484, and P0485 for the fan relays, and P0616 and P0617 for the starter relay — but the manual does not print the missing Low, High, Open, or Short qualifier on those rows.

The page publishes the labels as printed. It does not add a qualifier that the manual does not show, because a reader comparing the page with the printed table should see the same text. The table profile below records those rows as printed quirks.

What the table does not include

The table prints a code and a short description only. It does not print an SPN/FMI pair, a fault-setting condition, a healing condition, a wiring diagram, a test procedure, or a parts list. The page therefore has no FMI glossary and no condition columns. It also does not expand a code into a repair step or a safety determination.

The EPS table is separate. The 2023 manual publishes the C1301–C1329 EPS rows in the Power Steering section, and those rows are covered on the shared EPS page. A C13xx code belongs there; a C/P/U code from the main table belongs here.

How to use this page

Record the exact code, confirm the model year and trim, and note the manual P/N and printed page. The table below keeps the manual’s order, and the filter can search by code or by a word from the description. Use the 2023 page for the Black Hills Edition and the shared 2025–2027 page for the newer Prowler and Alterra manuals.

This page is a label index. It does not provide repair steps, parts advice, or a diagnosis for a specific machine. Codes can vary by trim, market, and running changes, so the cited manual remains the source for the exact machine.
