PTO Sense Circuit/Open
The PTO sense (engagement feedback) line is open. This input tells the ECM whether the PTO clutch or driveline is actually engaged after a request — it closes the loop on the PTO enable command. With it broken, the ECM cannot confirm engagement and refuses to ramp up to PTO speed setpoints.
