Power Take-Off Switch

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 31 other vehicles, including the 2003 Mercury Sable, 2003 Mercury Mountaineer, 2003 Mercury Marauder, 2003 Mercury Grand Marquis, and 2003 Lincoln Town Car. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Power Take-Off (PTO) circuit is used by PCM to disable some OBD-II monitors during PTO operation. PTO switch is normally open and circuit voltage is normally low. When PTO switch is closed, battery voltage is supplied to PTO circuit, indicating an additional load condition to PCM. If an additional load condition is not reported to PCM by PTO circuit, a false DTC may be stored.
