maybe this will help
Not sure what your issue might be but here is a little clip off the net of what it all controls on your sled.
The Arctic Cat CCU is designed for use in snowmobiles. It is used to control DC power, shifting (forward/reverse), auxiliary headlight (low-beam), voltage regulation and perform internal diagnostics reports of the snowmobile. The Arctic Cat CCU consists of two populated printed circuit boards mounted within a finned aluminum housing measuring approximately 3½” X 5” X 2” with a watertight cover. The chassis has two interface connecters, the main harness is a GT280 16-pin female connector that is molded into the housing and an alternator connector, which is a 3-pin Yazaki or Sumitomo plastic housing connected to the Arctic Cat CCU via two 6” insulated wires.
The Arctic Cat CCU contains two microcontrollers each with custom proprietary software. One microcontroller is used for the control portion of the unit and the other for use in the regulator. Power outputs are used to power loads on the snowmobile such as head and taillights, instrument cluster, hand warmers and an actuator that allows the operator to shift the snowmobile forward or reverse. The regulator portion of the Arctic Cat CCU rectifies and regulates power from the snowmobile’s alternator system to power the vehicles electrical systems and charge the battery.

The CCU needs to be replaced. Mine did this and a friends did this. If it was a left over I bet it still has some sort of warranty.

I have an 08 M1000 that is on its 4th gauge. They just seemed to die or blink all the time. So that may be the problem. I also bought a 09 Bearcat four stroke for work. It started flashing CCU (54 miles) I told my dealer (under warrenty) about it and he said it needs a new Chassis Control Unit. So that may be the problem as well. Maybe a couple places to start anyway
