Power Take-Off (PTO) Switch

The PTO switch and circuit are used to disable some of the OBD-II monitors when additional load is applied to the engine. The switch is normally open and circuit voltage is normally low. When switch is closed, battery voltage is supplied to the circuit indicating to the PCM of additional load condition.
