PTO VERIFICATION PROCEDURE

NOTICE: This procedure is only for vehicles equipped with a PTO. If the

vehicle is not equipped with a PTO, for 16MY-18MY vehicles, proceed to

the Label Installation Procedure. For 19MY vehicles, proceed to the

Owner’s Manual Update Procedure.
PTO Verification

NOTE: For additional information on the PTO, refer to TT-15-027

Conventional PTO installation.

With the ECU and VCS software update in this recall, the engine idle

speed adjustment by use of the cruise control switch (with vehicle

stationary) has been eliminated. There may be an impact on customers

who were using the cruise control switch to control idle speed for PTO

use. Follow these steps to determine if installation of a PTO switch, or

modification of existing PTO switch wiring will be necessary.
1. Confirm the body application. If no PTO is present, for 16MY-18MY

vehicles, proceed to the Label Installation Procedure. For 19MY vehicles,

proceed to the Owner’s Manual Update Procedure. If the vehicle is

equipped with a PTO, proceed to step 2, below.

2. With the engine running, engage the PTO.

Does the “PTO ON” indicator briefly illuminate in the instrument cluster

(meter) after turning the PTO switch on?

Yes: No further action needed. The cruise control

switch will function as before to allow elevated

idle speeds when the PTO switch is turned on.

No: Modifications are needed. Proceed to step 3, below.
3. For vehicles that have a PTO switch but the “PTO ON” indicator does

not illuminate in the instrument cluster (meter) with the switch on,

modifications are required to enable elevated idle speed by use of the

cruise control switch.
In order to use the cruise control switch to elevate the idle speed, the

Engine ECU must receive a switched 12 volt power signal to circuit A6N /

PTO SW1 (Yellow) when the PTO is in use. Also, item number 229 must be

set to “1” in the Engine ECU Customization Menu using DXII. Refer to

chapters 7 and 11 of the body builder book as well as Tech Tip 15-027 on

Hinonet to modify the existing PTO switch wiring.

After the ECU PTO signal has been wired in and item 229 is set to “1”,

recheck PTO operation. Verify that the “PTO ON” indicator illuminates

when the PTO is engaged, and the engine speed is adjustable with the

cruise control switch, or a preset elevated engine speed is reached.

Confirm proper operation of the “PTO ON” indicator and elevated idle

speed is verified.

NOTICE: If further assistance is needed for PTO set up, please

submit a Tech Assist case on Hinonet.
LABEL INSTALLATION PROCEDURE

NOTICE: 19MY vehicles DO NOT require label installation. For

19MY vehicles, proceed to the Owner’s Manual Update

Procedure.

1. To comply with California regulations, an emissions certification label

must be applied to the fan shroud. As shown in the photograph at the right,

open the hood and clean the area of the fan shroud, using brake parts

cleaner and a clean rag. The fan shroud surface must be clean and dry

before affixing the label.
2. Verify that the information on the new label exactly matches the

information on the existing valve cover label. DO NOT remove the existing

label on the valve cover. Make certain not to bend or wrinkle the new label

during handling. Apply the emissions label to the fan shroud as shown in

the photograph below, on the right. Close the hood and engage the hood

latches. Proceed to Owner’s Manual Update procedure, below.
OWNERS MANUAL UPDATE PROCEDURE

1. Affix the “NOTICE” label to the back side of the cover page on the

owner’s manual.
2. Place the supplement guide in the vehicle with the owner’s manual to

alert the operator of the changes to the cruise control idle up feature and

exhaust brake at idle deletion. Proceed to the Repair Label Installation

Procedure, below.
REPAIR LABEL INSTALLATION PROCEDURE

1. Once all above steps in this recall procedure have been completed,

apply a recall label to the left door jamb above the VIN label. Fill in the

Campaign No, Dealer code, and Repair date. Proceed to the Final

Inspection Procedure, below.
FINAL INSPECTION:
