Mobile PTO
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 GMC Sierra, 2008 GMC Cab & Chassis Sierra, 2008 Chevrolet Silverado, and 2008 Chevrolet Cab & Chassis Silverado. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The mobile PTO mode will also disengage if the following conditions are detected by the vehicle modules:
- Press the brake pedal
- Vehicle speed exceeds 80 km/h (50 mph)
- Engine speed exceeds the maximum allowed PTO operating speed of 2100 RPM
- The PTO load becomes disengaged
- Press and release the 0 button on the PTO in-cab switch
The PTO control system will attempt to limit accelerator pedal and PTO switch input as the vehicle approaches the above operational limits. There are some vehicle conditions, such as down hill acceleration, which may cause vehicle speed or engine speed limits to be exceeded. Under those conditions, PTO is disengaged.
