Posted by: on

Applicable Vehicles

P4 New Cascadia vehicles built from 9/9/2019 thru 1/9/2023

Symptoms

PTO grinding noise during operation

Issue

When vehicle is in PTO operation, a parameter (emergency mode) may be incorrectly set allowing the PTO to try to re-engage while in operation. 

Solution

If encountering PTO grinding during operation, check the sSAM for the PTO position (screen print example will be for PTO1) programming for Assumed Feedback After x seconds.  The parameter should be set to 10s.  Make sure the setting applies to the PTO being programmed PTO1, PTO2 or PT03.
