Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
PTO Switch
The PTO Switch is mounted in the center of the Instrument Panel. The PTO Switch has three positions: OFF, ON and SET. When the PTO switch is in ON voltage will be present on the PTO On Switch Signal circuit at the relay and the PCM. When the switch is held to the SET position, voltage will be present on the PTO Engage Signal circuit at the PCM. The PTO indicator light is integral with the switch and will illuminate when the switch is turned ON. The presence of the indicator being on does not mean that the PTO Solenoid is engaged. The Cruise Control Multi-Function Switch may be used in conjunction with the PTO Switch. Illumination of the switch is provided through the dimming circuit and controlled in part by internal switch logic.
