Fault Code 900: PTO 1 Request

J1939: SA 3 SPN 3452 FMI 4, 9, 12, 13, 14, 19, 20, 31

Overview

The Endurant HD Transmission incorporates enhanced controls for Power Take-Off (PTO) operation. When PTO operation is required the Transmission Control Module (TCM) receives a request (Input) for PTO operation, determines if operating conditions are suitable, and supplies a signal (Output) to engage the PTO. Once engaged the TCM receives a confirmation to complete the operation. Reference Endurant HD Driver Instructions based on transmission model (TRDR0950/TRDR0955) for PTO operation.

The TCM can be configured to operate a PTO with messages over the vehicle Primary Data Link J1939A or from a PTO switch circuit hardwired directly to the TCM. The TCM is equipped to receive 4 switch inputs and control 3 relay outputs that can be configured in an Input/Output (I/O) Package to support various vocational features.

If the TCM is configured to "J1939 Control Only", PTO operation messages are exchanged between the TCM and a OEM vehicle ECU. If the TCM is configured to "Hardwire Control Only, PTO operation is controlled by Input and Output signals from a hardwired switch circuit. The TCM has the functionality to support operation of two PTOs at the same time; one over the Primary Data Link J1939A and one from a hardwired PTO switch circuit.

PTO circuit inputs and outputs are connected to the TCM in the 20-Way TCM Body Harness Connector. The PTO and PTO circuit are installed by the OEM or body builder. Reference Input / Output Calibration of the Appendix for recommended PTO circuit wiring diagrams.

Detection

The TCM monitors the PTO 1 Request J1939 messages or the hardwired PTO 1 Request circuit input signal. If the messages or signal are not received or are invalid, the fault is set Active.

Conditions to Set Fault Code Active

FMI 4 – Voltage Below Normal or Shorted Low: PTO 1 Request circuit input signal indicated short to ground for 5 seconds.

FMI 9 – Abnormal Update Rate: PTO 1 Request messages not received for 5 seconds.

FMI 12 – Bad Intelligent Device: TCM has detected an internal processing error.

FMI 13 – Out of Calibration: PTO 1 Request message not available for 5 seconds.

FMI 14 – Special Instructions: The TCM has detected invalid I/O Package calibration.

FMI 19 – Received Network Data in Error: PTO 1 Request messages invalid for 5 seconds.

FMI 20 – Data Drifted High: PTO 1 Request circuit input signal out of range (4.00–5.25 V) for 5 seconds.

FMI 31 – Condition Exists: The TCM detected invalid I/O Package calibration.

  2. Record transmission model from Service Activity Report created during the Diagnostic Procedure.

B
Purpose:Check for Active or Inactive fault codes.
  1. Record the transmission fault codes, FMIs, occurrences, and timestamps from the Service Activity Report created during the Diagnostic Procedure.

C
Purpose:Verify PTO 1 Hardwire controlled configuration with ServiceRanger.
  1. Key on.

  2. Connect ServiceRanger.

  3. Go To “Configurations”.

  4. Select “PTO”.

  5. Record “PTO 1” Current Value.

  • If “PTO 1” Current Value indicates “Disabled” and a PTO is properly installed and wired, select a “Hardwire Control Only” option and follow on-screen prompts. Go to Step V

  • If “PTO 1” Current Value indicates a “Hardwire Control Only” option and a PTO is properly installed and wired, refer to OEM or body builder guidelines for repair or replacement of “PTO 1” Request switch or circuits. Go to Step V

    Note: PTO and wiring are installed by the OEM or body builder, reference TRIG2610 for PTO system installation and wiring diagrams.

D
Purpose:Verify PTO 1 J1939 controlled configuration with ServiceRanger.
  1. Key on.

  2. Connect ServiceRanger.

  3. Go To “Configurations”.

  4. Select “PTO”.

  5. Record “PTO 1” Current Value.

  • If “PTO 1” Current Value indicates a J1939 Control or J1939 Request option and a PTO is not installed, select “Disabled” and follow on-screen prompts. Go to Step V

  • If “PTO 1” Current Value indicates a J1939 Control or J1939 Request option and a PTO is properly installed and wired, refer to OEM guidelines regarding OEM ECU PTO configuration. Go to Step V

    Note: PTO and wiring are installed by the OEM or body builder, reference TRIG2610 for PTO system installation and wiring diagrams.

E
Purpose:Check for Active or Inactive fault codes.
  1. Record transmission fault codes, FMIs, occurrences, and timestamps from Service Activity Report created during the Diagnostic Procedure.

  • If Fault Code 900 FMI 4, 20 is Active, Go to Step F

  • If Fault Code 900 FMI 4, 20 is Inactive, the intermittent nature of the fault makes it likely that the problem is in the PTO 1 Request circuit. Go to Step G
