Power Take-Off (PTO)
If equipped, the Power Take-Off
(PTO) is a GM Upfitter integrated
system that is used to create an
auxiliary power source for running
add-on equipment, such as salt
spreaders, snow plows, winches,
and lift buckets. The PTO system
controls engine speed to values
higher than normal base idle, PTO
load relay engagement, and remote
starting and shutdown of the engine.
When installing PTO aftermarket
equipment, the PTO wiring and
operation recommendations
provided by the service manual and
GM Upfitter documentation must be
strictly followed.
Refer to the bulletins in the GM
Upfitter Integration website

Take-Off (PTO) operating
description and application guide.
