Fault Code 920: PTO 1 Confirm

J1939: SA 3 SPN 3460 FMI 4, 7, 9, 12, 13, 14, 19, 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 Confirm J1939 messages or the hardwired PTO 1 Confirm 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 Confirm circuit output signal shorted to ground for 5 seconds.

FMI 7 – Mechanical System Not Responding: PTO 1 Confirm message or signal received but PTO 1 Engage not commanded.

FMI 9 – Abnormal Update Rate: PTO 1 Confirm 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 Confirm message not available for 5 seconds.

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

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

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