Remote Throttle
Remote control of the PTO is performed through the 12-pin remote throttle connector on the engine harness. These are
pins 1, 2, and possibly 6 (depending on engine) on J111_.
The 2010 and 2013 MX engine controller port (J2 pin 21) will report a PTO active when driven high (+12V DC).
Since PTO and pump mode signals are low when active a relay is needed to convert the low signal to a high
signal. When a PTO is specified on a chassis the MX engine harness will contain the optional remote throttle/PTO
12-way connector and cap (P111C/J111C).

The 2010 ISX engine controller port (J3 pin 39) and the 2013 ISX engine controller port (J2 pin 94) will report a
PTO active when driven low (Ground). When a PTO is specified on a chassis the ISX engine harness will contain
the optional remote throttle/PTO 12-way connector and cap (P111A/J111A).
