Five brands, five conventions
The archive holds 149 model-year records from five brands and 17,638 rows. The rows do not use one identifier convention. Arctic Cat prints display codes only. Segway prints module-prefixed display codes only. John Deere prints SPN/FMI pairs only. ARGO prints a P or U key beside an SPN/FMI pair on every row. Polaris prints both forms, but not on every row.
The format counts sit beside 42 table fingerprints. A fingerprint identifies a normalized row set; it does not identify a format. Two tables can share a format and differ row for row, and one brand can publish both forms.
This is a label index. It does not provide repair procedures, parts advice, or a diagnosis for a specific machine. Codes can vary by trim, market, and running changes.
Counts by brand
| Brand | Records | Rows | Printed key | SPN/FMI | Form |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Polaris | 123 | 16,043 | 403 keys | All rows; 3,891 also carry a key | Mixed |
| Arctic Cat | 19 | 1,175 | 250 keys | None | Display only |
| Segway | 4 | 129 | 129 keys | None | Module prefix only |
| John Deere | 2 | 99 | None | All rows | Pair only |
| ARGO | 1 | 192 | 192 keys | All rows | Dual format |
| Total | 149 | 17,638 | 974 keys | 16,334 rows | Five conventions |
The 974 key count adds the brand totals and counts a key once per brand. A P-code printed by two brands is counted in both brand totals, so the sum is not a global distinct-key count.
Display-only tables: Arctic Cat and Segway
Arctic Cat prints 250 display keys and 300 printed titles across 19 records and 1,175 rows. The keys carry C, P, and U prefixes: 799 P rows, 342 C rows, and 27 U rows. Seven rows print FUEL OFF with the title Tilt Sensor Activation Code; that entry is not a C, P, or U key. No Arctic Cat row prints an SPN or an FMI.
Segway prints 129 keys and 114 titles across four module tables and 129 rows. The prefixes name the module: 88 P rows and three U rows in the ECU table, 24 E rows in the EPS table, six T rows in the T-BOX table, and eight A rows in the ABS table. The ECU keys add a two-character suffix to the four-character base, as in P0107 16. No Segway row prints an SPN or an FMI.
Both brands use the printed key as the row identity. A citation can name the key alone, provided it also names the table that printed it.
Pair-only tables: John Deere
John Deere prints 99 rows across two 2018 Gator records. Every row carries an SPN and an FMI, and no row carries a display key. The 99 rows hold 60 distinct pairs, 36 SPNs, 27 titles, and 13 FMI values. The two records share 39 pairs.
The pair is the row identity. SPN 84 at FMI 0 prints Wheel Speed System Fault; SPN 84 at FMI 9 prints Wheel Speed Not Detected. A citation that names SPN 84 alone covers six rows across the two records, so the FMI belongs in the citation.
Dual-format tables: ARGO and Polaris
ARGO prints both forms on all 192 rows of the 2026 Sasquatch XTX engine chapter. The table holds 178 P rows and 14 U rows, 90 SPNs, and 25 FMI values. Every key has a pair, and every pair has a key.
Polaris prints both forms on 3,891 of its 16,043 rows and the pair alone on the other 12,152. The dual-format block splits into 3,605 P rows, 185 C rows, 57 U rows, and 44 B rows. The pair-only block has no printed key in the source table.
| Printed form | Rows | Example |
|---|---|---|
| P key plus SPN/FMI | 3,605 | P0107 with its pair |
| C key plus SPN/FMI | 185 | C2418 with its pair |
| U key plus SPN/FMI | 57 | U0100 with its pair |
| B key plus SPN/FMI | 44 | B1150, Seat Belt Switch |
| SPN/FMI only | 12,152 | SPN 520203 at FMI 3, Active Descent Control System |
| Total | 16,043 | 403 distinct keys, 322 SPNs |
The Polaris split is per row, not per table. A single table can print both forms, and a pair-only row can sit beside a dual-format row in the same chapter. The archive counts the rows as printed rather than assigning one format to the whole table.
One SPN across brands
A shared SPN does not carry a shared title. SPN 51 prints nine titles across 303 rows in two brand tables. Polaris supplies 302 rows and eight titles, including Throttle Position Sensor and TPS Unrealistic Transition. John Deere supplies one row at FMI 31 with the title CAN Communication Error. The two sets share the number, not the printed text.
| SPN | Polaris | John Deere | ARGO | Total rows | Titles |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 51 | 302 rows, 8 titles | 1 row, 1 title | 0 | 303 | 9 |
| 100 | 56 rows, 2 titles | 2 rows, 1 title | 3 rows, 3 titles | 61 | 6 |
SPN 100 is wider still. Polaris prints Engine Oil Pressure and Low oil pressure switch fault. John Deere prints Engine Oil Pressure Low. ARGO prints Engine Oil Pressure Sensor Low Fault, Engine Oil Pressure Sensor High Fault, and Engine Oil Pressure Too Low Fault. Six titles across 61 rows use the same SPN.
What the format does not tell you
The format does not identify a model year, a table identity, or a trim. Two Polaris records in different years can cite different tables, and one table can print both forms. Two John Deere records in the same year can print the same pair with the same title. The row format is a property of the printed chapter, not a property of the machine.
The format also does not set a hierarchy. A dual-format row is not more complete than a pair-only row, and a display-only row is not older than a dual-format row. Each form is the column set the cited manual prints.
A row count and a fingerprint answer different questions. The count says how many rows a table prints; the fingerprint names the normalized row set. Neither field names the identifier convention, and neither field takes the place of the brand, year, P/N, and chapter in a citation.
How to cite a row across brands
Name the brand, the model year, the manual P/N, the chapter, and the row as printed. For a display-only row, the key and title are enough. For a pair-only row, the SPN and FMI are required. For a dual-format row, name both the key and the pair.
A cross-brand comparison also names the two tables. SPN 51 in a Polaris table and SPN 51 in the John Deere table are two rows under two citations. The shared number does not merge them into one entry.
Questions about code formats
How many brands and rows does the archive cover?
Five brands, 149 model-year records, and 17,638 rows across 42 table fingerprints.
Which brand prints SPN/FMI only?
John Deere. Its two 2018 Gator records hold 99 rows, all pair-only.
Which brands print display codes only?
Arctic Cat and Segway. Arctic Cat uses C, P, and U keys across 1,175 rows; Segway uses P, U, E, T, and A keys across 129 rows.
Does every Polaris row carry a display key?
No. 3,891 of 16,043 Polaris rows carry a key beside the pair; 12,152 carry the pair alone.
Does a shared SPN carry a shared title?
No. SPN 51 prints nine titles across 303 rows in the Polaris and John Deere tables. The number is shared; the printed title is table-specific.
