Illustration 1 g01303497There are two types of outputs. There are driver outputs and sinking outputs. The driver outputs include the PTO Latching Output, Starter Interlock Output, and the Backup Alarm. These outputs can drive 2 Amps of current at battery voltage.The sinking outputs include the Gear Indicator output. The replacement of a relay or solenoid is larger than the original, meaning that the replacement has a higher amperage capability, then the ECU output may disable in order to keep from destroying the internal parts of the ECU .A diagnostic trouble code will not be generated in this type of situation. The output will appear not to function.Perform the following check:
Turn the ignition switch OFF. Disconnect the replacement relay or solenoid. Install a test lamp. Turn the ignition switch ON and activate the output. If the test lamp indicates that the output is functional, the replacement relay or solenoid must be replaced with a relay or solenoid that meets the original specifications. If it is necessary, a smaller relay or solenoid can be used in order to operate the larger relay or solenoid.There are three outputs that are rated for driving relays or solenoids. These outputs are rated at two amps at the chassis battery voltage.
