Ram Trucks 2012 Chassis Cab - Diesel Supplement - Manual (Page 82)

To operate the PTO via a remote switch, the customer
must make sure the above conditions are met. It is vital
for proper operation that the PTO and remote have been
installed correctly, paying special attention to ensure the
vehicle provided wiring has been connected properly.
This is the responsibility of the installer of the PTO and
switches/remote system. It is the responsibility of the
PTO manufacturer to ensure that their electrical (switches
and remote) system is compatible with the vehicle’s
electrical architecture and software functionality.
NOTE: If you desire a single PTO speed, your vehicle
must be wired to use a remote PTO switch. For instruc-
tions on programming the SET speed, refer to the
LEARNING SET SPEED section of the Body Builder’s
Guide which can be found at www.ramtrucks.com.

the following conditions:
• Authorized dealer-selected “mobile” mode activated
via authorized dealer proprietary service tool
• Upfitter-provided (on/off) switch has been activated
