• While using the remote Power Take-Off (PTO) feature, the PTO may not engage or resume operation properly, after disengaging: 1. Engine is running with PTO engaged. 2. Operator is using the equipment, for example a bucket attachment. 3. Operator gets in position, then uses remote start/stop button to turn truck off while they perform a task. 4. The task is completed, then operator is ready to move the bucket so they use remote start/stop to start the engine. 5. The engine starts but PTO does not automatically re-engage so the equipment doesn’t operate. This bulletin involves inspecting and possibly reprogramming the PCM with the latest available software.
