PTO Relay (If supported by the PTO upfitter wiring)

  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the PTO relay.
  2. Test for approximately 50-200 ohms of resistance between terminals H and J on the upfitter wiring side of the upfitter PTO connector.
    • If the resistance is not within the specified range, replace the relay.
  3. Test for infinite resistance between the following terminals:
    • F and J
    • F and H
    • F and K
    • K and J
    • If less than infinite resistance, replace the PTO relay.
  4. Install a 15-amp fused jumper wire between relay terminal J and 12 volts. Install a jumper wire between relay terminal H and ground. Test for less than 2.0 ohms of resistance between the relay switch terminals.
    • If greater than 2.0 ohms, replace the PTO relay.
