The PTO system provides an input signal to the powertrain control module (PCM) indicating there is an additional load being applied to the engine. The PCM disables the on-board diagnostic (OBD) monitors and increases the engine RPM based on the PTO system or auxiliary idle control input.
The following entry conditions are required to enable the PTO or auxiliary idle control:
- accelerator pedal released
- automatic transmission is in the PARK position or manual transmission in NEUTRAL with the clutch pedal released
- brake pedal released
- engine at normal operating temperature
- parking brake applied
