Circuit/System Testing

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 GMC Sierra, 2009 GMC Cab & Chassis Sierra, and 2009 Chevrolet Silverado. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the in-cab PTO switch.
  2. Ignition ON, test for 4.5 to 5.2 volts on the vehicle harness connector between the following terminals:
    • 2 and ground
    • 9 and ground
    • 4 and ground
    • 1 and ground
    • If less than the specified range, disconnect the harness connector at the PTO module and test the failed signal circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the PTO switch.
    • If greater than the specified range, test the failed signal circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, test or replace the PTO module.
  3. Ignition OFF, test for less than 0.5 ohm of resistance between the ground circuit terminal 5 and ground.
    • If greater than the specified value, test the ground circuit terminal 5 for a high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the PTO module.
  4. If the circuits test normal, replace the PTO switch.
