  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the in-cab PTO switch.
  2. Ignition ON, test for 4.5 to 5.2 volts on the vehicle harness connector between the following terminals:
    • 2 and ground
    • 9 and ground
    • 4 and ground
    • 1 and ground
    • If less than the specified range, disconnect the harness connector at the PTO module and test the failed signal circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the PTO switch.
    • If greater than the specified range, test the failed signal circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, test or replace the PTO module.
  3. Ignition OFF, test for less than 0.5 ohm of resistance between the ground circuit terminal 5 and ground.
    • If greater than the specified value, test the ground circuit terminal 5 for a high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the PTO module.
  4. If the circuits test normal, replace the PTO switch.
