Hello I am working on a 2006 Rubicon for a friend. The motor started giving trouble shifting and he was getting a temp warning light. When he shut the bike off it would not turn or pull over. I ended up removing the motor and completely dismantling it to find a 5mm bolt stuck in the oil pump. The bolt came from a divider inside the oil tank. Replaced the oil pump and put the engine back in.
Tried starting the engine today and no spark and the gear position does not read on the dash.
Looking for some help. Should the coil still spark without the neutral light being on

Won't get spark if it can't tell what gear it's in.

So nothing at all on the gear position on the dash?

 

[Jody78]

No just the broken lines. And no code blinking

without a neutral light ?, it won't fire the spark plug at all.

 

[Jody78]

Any idea how to trick the gear position sensor

Any idea how to trick the gear position sensor

why not just find the problem, and fix it the correct way ?.

 

[Jody78]

Any suggestions?

Any suggestions?

yeah, down load the service manual, dig in ! .

Jumped out the neutral switch and it’s now running. Now I need to pull the switch to check it out.

Did you download the FSM? It will have directions on ohming out the gear position switch.

If I recall correctly there are 2 switches on the shifter as well on the Rubicon.

Does anyone know what the other sensor is just above the rear output shaft. It’s not connected on this bike. Can’t find it on any of the parts drawings.

#5? That's the gear position switch. I didn't realize it was an external switch on the Rubicon. On the footshifts it's actually inside your cover.

Should plug into the wiring harness somewhere on the right side of the frame (would be under your right butt cheek if you're sitting on the seat).

I think ?, he's confusing that switch with the speed sensor ?. honda does not put the gear position switch on the outside...not that I know of anyway or ever seen ???. added: you did not notice that the gear position switch is on the inside cover ????. lol. damn bro..your slipping !.

if the switch your talking about is the switch you see AFTER you pull the stator cover ?, has two bolts holing it to the case ?, that is your gear position switch. most plug in over on the right rear side of the frame.

 

[Jody78]

The gear position switch is down low on the rear engine cover to the right of the output shaft. It is bolted to the outside so no trouble to change it. The switch or sensor I am asking about is on the rear cover just above the output shaft. I think it might be at speed sensor but I can not find we’re to plug it in.

The first pic is the gear position and I am not sure what the second one is. Can’t find we’re to connect it.

second pic is your speed sensor, it '' should '' ?, plug in on right rear side of seat/frame, in front of right rear tire.

 

[Jeepwm69]

Second pic is a speed sensor, but on the 06 Rubicon the speed sensors are on the front diff. You sure it's an 06, and are you sure the motor is original? The 01-04 Rubicons would have had the speed sensor like it is in the picture.

Rubicon and Rincon have an externally mounted gear position switch. LOL:icon_censored:

Replaced the gear position switch and it started showing the gear position. When I went for a ride I got code 5 and 11 on the bike again. Code 11 was a blown fuse. Replaced it and that code was gone. Code 5 was for the angle sensor, did some checks and found the sensor resistance to low. Replaced it and now when I try to preform the initial setting procedure it will only let me go to step 7. The neutral light should go out and then ——— should start to blink so that the angle sensor can be set up. Anyone know why I can’t get past step 7.
