TABLE OF CONTENTS
The Peterbilt Heavy Duty Body Builder Manual was designed to provide body builders with a comprehensive information
set to guide the body planning and installation process. Use this information when installing bodies or other associated
equipment.
This manual contains appropriate dimensional information, guidelines for mounting bodies, modifying frames, electrical
wiring information, and other information useful in the body installation process.
The Peterbilt Heavy Duty Body Builder Manual can be very useful when specifying a vehicle, particularly when the body
builder is involved in the vehicle selection and component ordering process. Information in this manual will help reduce
overall costs through optimized integration of the body installation with vehicle selection. Early in the process, professional
body builders can often contribute valuable information that reduces the ultimate cost of the body installation.
In the interest of continuing product development, Peterbilt reserves the right to change specifications or products at any
time without prior notice. It is the responsibility of the user to ensure that he is working with the latest released information.
Check Peterbilt.com for the latest released version.
If you require additional information or reference materials, please contact your local Peterbilt dealer.

SECTION 2 SAFETY AND COMPLIANCE
SAFETY SIGNALS
We’ve put a number of alerting messages in this book. Please read and follow them. They are there for your
protection and information. These alerting messages can help you avoid injury to yourself or others and help
prevent costly dam- age to the vehicle.
Key symbols and “signal words” are used to indicate what kind of message is going to follow. Pay special attention
to comments prefaced by “WARNING”, “CAUTION”, and “NOTE.” Please don’t ignore any of these alerts.
When you see this word and symbol, the message that follows is especially vital. It
WARNING
signals a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or
serious injury. This message will tell you what the hazard is, what can happen if you don’t
heed the warning, and how to avoid it.
Example:
WARNING! Be sure to use a circuit breaker designed to meet lift-gate amperage requirements. An
incorrectly specified circuit breaker could result in an electrical overload or fire situation. Follow
the lift-gate installation instructions and use a circuit breaker with the recommended capacity.
CAUTION Signals a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in minor
or moderate injury or damage to the vehicle.
Example:
CAUTION: Never use a torch to make a hole in the rail. Use the appropriate drill bit.
NOTE Provides general information: for example, the note could warn you on how to avoid
damaging your vehicle or how to drive the vehicle more efficiently.
Example:
Note: Be sure to provide maintenance access to the battery box and fuel tank fill neck.
Please take the time to read these messages when you see them, and remember:
WARNING
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.
CAUTION
Signals a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in minor or
moderate injury or damage to the vehicle.
NOTE
Useful information that is related to the topic being discussed.
NOTE These documents list the U.S. or Canadian Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard regulations that the
vehicle complied with when it left the build plant. You should be aware that if you add, modify or alter any
of the components or systems covered by these regulations, it is your responsibility as the Intermediate
or Final Stage Manufacturer to ensure that the complete vehicle is in compliance with the particular
regulations upon completion of the modifications.

Certification Label
FIGURE 2-1. FIGURE 2-2. Locations of Certification
Incomplete Vehicle Labels - Driver’s Door and Frame
Certification Document
As the Intermediate or Final Stage Manufacturer, you should retain the Incomplete Vehicle Document for your records. In
addition, you should record and retain the manufacturer and serial number of the tires on the vehicle. Upon completion of
the vehicle (installation of the body and any other modifications), you should affix your certification label to the vehicle as
required by Federal law. This tag identifies you as the “Intermediate or Final Stage Manufacturer” and certifies that the
vehicle complies with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards. (See Figure 2–2.) Be advised that regulations affecting the
intermediate and final stage manufacturer may change without notice. Ensure you are referencing the most updated copy
of the regulation during the certification and documentation processes.
In part, if the final stage manufacturer can complete and certify the vehicle within the instruction in the incomplete vehicle
document (IVD) the certification label would need a statement that reads, “This vehicle has been completed in accordance
with the prior manufacturers‚ IVD where applicable. This vehicle conforms to all applicable Federal Motor Vehicle Safety
Standards [and Bumper and Theft Prevention Standards if applicable] in effect in (month, year).”
These statements are just part of the changes to the new certification regulation. Please refer to the Feb 15, 2005 final
rule for all of the details related to this regulation. You can contact NTEA Technical Services Department at 1-800-441-
NTEA for a copy of the final rule (DocID 101760).
For Canadian final stage manufacturers see:

Additionally, most vehicles in North America will be equipped with a Greenhouse Gas
(GHG) “Vehicle Emission Control Information” door label indicating its certified
configuration. The vehicle components listed on this label are considered emission
control devices.
Modifying (i.e. altering, substituting, relocating) any of the emissions control
components/systems defined above will affect the noise and emissions
performance/certification. Modifications that alter the overall shape and aerodynamic
performance of a tractor will also affect the emission certification. If modifications are
required, they must first be approved by the manufacturer. Unapproved modifications
could negatively affect emissions performance/certification. There is no guarantee that
proposed modifications will be approved.
Tires may be substituted provided the new tires possess a Coefficient of rolling
resistance (Crr) equal to or lower than Crr of the original tires. Consult with your tire
supplier(s) for appropriate replacement tires.
Contact the engine manufacturer for any requirements and restrictions prior to any
modifications.
• For Cummins Contact 1-800-DIESELS or your local Cummins distributor. Reference AEB 21.102.
It is possible to relocate the DEF tank, however the relocation requirements need to be followed. Any variance
from the relocation requirements may cause the emissions control components/systems to operate improperly
potentially resulting in engine de-rate.
NOTE All 2017 engine emissions certified vehicles will be equipped with an On-Board
Diagnostics (OBD) system. The OBD system is designed to detect malfunctions of any
engine or vehicle component that may increase exhaust emissions or interfere with the
proper performance of the OBD system itself.
All diesel engines will be equipped with an On-Board Diagnostics (OBD) system. The OBD
system consists of computer program on one or more of the vehicle’s Electronic Control Units
(ECUs). This program uses information from the control system and from additional sensors to
detect malfunctions. When a malfunction is detected, information is stored in the ECU(s) for
diagnostic purposes. A Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) is illuminated in the dash to alert the
driver of the need for service of an emission-related component or system.
To ensure compliance to emissions regulations, the final configuration of certain features of the completed vehicle must
meet specific requirements. This section describes requirements relevant for only the most common or critical
modifications done by body builders. For a complete description of acceptable modifications, see the application guidance
available from the manufacturer of the engine installed in the chassis.
FUEL SYSTEM
The following are highlights of some of the more common or critical aspects of this system.
The overall system restriction may not exceed the restriction limitations set forth by the engine manufacturer for both
supply and return.
• Ensure that fuel lines are not pinched or can potentially be damaged when installed between body and frame
• Fuel lines must be routed and secured without dips or sags
• There must be easy access to filter(s) and fill cap
• The tank vent may not obstructed
• Added accessories (heaters, generators) cannot introduce air into system
• Fuel tank must be located so that the full level is not above cylinder head
• “Ultra-Low Sulfur Fuel Only” labels must be present on the dash and fuel fill
• Modification of the pressure side secondary filter and plumbing is not allowed without engine
manufacturer approval
• Body installation of fuel tank or routing of lines must not cause significant increase in fuel temperature
• Fuel hoses shall meet or exceed OEM supplied hose material construction specifications
• Formed nylon fuel lines with quick-connects are installed underneath the cab and hood along the frame
rail. Behind the cab from the fuel tee to tanks are wirebraid-reinforced rubber lines. Supply and return
fittings are poka-yoked to prevent incorrect assembly.
COOLING SYSTEM
The following are highlights of some of the more common or critical aspects of this system.
• Modifications to the design or locations of fill or vent lines, heater or defroster core, and surge tank are
not recommended
• Additional accessories plumbed into the engine cooling system are not permitted, at the risk of voiding
vehicle warranty
• Coolant level sensor tampering will void warranty
• When installing auxiliary equipment in front of the vehicle, or additional heat exchangers, ensure
that adequate air flow is available to the vehicle cooling system. Refer to engine manufacturer
application guide- lines for further detail
• When installing FEPTO drivelines, the lower radiator anti-recirculation seal must be retained with
FEPTO driveline clearance modification only
• Changes made to cooling fan circuit and controls are not allowed, with the exception of AC
minimum fan on time parameter
• See owner’s manual for appropriate winter front usage
FIGURE 2-4: Instrument Cluster for 579/567 used with EPA 2013 Emission compliant engines. The Check Engine
lamp and/or the MIL will appear in the Driver Information Display. See 579/567 Operator’s Manual for more
information.
• In addition to the sensors and lamps above, the emission system also depends on signals from the
exhaust DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter), SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction), and NOx sensor. Wiring
between these devices, the Dosing Control Unit (DCU) and engine ECM should not be tampered with or
altered in any way.

FIGURE 3-40. DEF Tanks FIGURE 3-41. DEF Tank Isometric View
This section includes drawings and charts related to frame space components to ensure adequate space for fuel tanks,
ladder steps, additional tool/battery boxes, pusher axles and other frame mounted components, the amount of available
space must be calculated by using the formula below.
Dimension "A" (shown in charts on following pages) is the minimum clearance measured from the
centerline of the front axle to the back of the under cab component (DPF/SCR exhaust, fuel tank,
battery box, tool box, etc). Dimension "C" is the amount of space from the rear of the under cab
component to the back of the DEF tank (can be on LH or RH rail). Dimension "B" is the amount of
required suspension and quarter fender clearance from the rear axle centerline to clear rail for a given
suspension.
Notes:
1. Overhang for tractor taper EOF and standard mudflap hangers on suspensions; Square EOF w/o Crossmember
for Lift Axles.
2. Add 2.0" to "B" dimension with quarter fenders.
3. Add 1.5" to "B" dimension with quarter fenders.
4. Add 0.6" to "B" dimension with quarter fenders.
5. Add 2.8" to "B" dimension with quarter fenders.
6. Add 3.0" to "B" dimension if pusher is mounted behind sleeper. The suspension bracket protrudes 3" BOS.
7. "B" dimension is from axle centerline (or bogie for tandem) to clear frame forward.
8. Extended Tractor Taper requires 58.0" overhang.

This section has been designed to provide guidelines to aid in body mounting. This is not intended as a complete guide,
rather as general information. Body mounting strategies are unique to each body type and body builder must determine
the appropriate method.
FRAME RAILS
Normal suspension movement could cause contact between the tires and the body. To prevent this, mount the body so
that the minimum clearance between the top of the tire and the bottom of the body is 8 inches (203 mm). This should be
measured with the body empty. See FIGURE 4-1.
FIGURE 4-1. Minimum Clearance Between Top of Rear Tires and Body Structure Overhang
CAUTION: Maintain adequate clearance between back of cab and the front (leading edge) of mounted body. It is
recommended the body leading edge be mounted 4 in. behind the cab. See FIGURE 4-2.
NOTE: Be sure to provide maintenance access to the battery box and fuel tank fill neck.
CAUTION: Always install a spacer between the body subframe and the top flange of the frame rail. Installation of
a spacer between the body subframe and the top flange of the frame rail will help prevent premature wear of the
components due to chafing or corrosion.
WARNING! When mounting a body to the chassis, DO NOT drill holes in the upper or lower flange of the
frame rail. If the frame rail flanges are modified or damaged, the rail could fail prematurely and cause an
accident. Mount the body using body mounting brackets or U–bolts.
FRAME SILL
If the body is mounted to the frame with brackets, we recommend a frame sill spacer made from a strip of rubber or plastic
(delrin or nylon). These materials will not undergo large dimensional changes during periods of high or low humidity. The
strip will be less likely to fall out during extreme relative motion between body and chassis. See FIGURE 4-3.
FIGURE 4-3. Spacer Between Frame Sill and Body Rail – Rubber or Plastic
When mounting a body to the chassis with brackets, we recommend designs that offer limited relative movement, bolted
securely but not too rigid. Brackets should allow for slight movement between the body and the chassis. For instance,
FIGURE 4-4 shows a high compression spring between the bolt and the bracket and FIGURE 4-5 shows a rubber spacer
between the brackets. These designs will allow relative movement between the body and the chassis during extreme
frame racking situations. Mountings that are too rigid could cause damage to the body. This is particularly true with tanker
installations.
When installing brackets on the frame rails, the mounting holes in the chassis frame bracket and frame rail must comply
with the general spacing and location guidelines illustrated in FIGURE 4-6.
FIGURE 4-6. Hole Location Guidelines for Frame Rail and Bracket
FIGURE 4-7. Crossmember Gusset Hole Patterns (Additional Holes Available in 50 mm Horizontal Increments)
WARNING! When mounting a body to the chassis, DO NOT drill holes in the upper or lower flange of the frame
rail. If the frame rail flanges are modified or damaged, the rail could fail prematurely and cause an accident.
Mount the body using body mounting brackets or U–bolts.
WARNING! DO NOT drill closely spaced holes in the frame rail. Hole centers of two adjacent holes should be
spaced no less than twice the diameter of the largest hole. Closer spacing could induce a failure between the
two holes.
CAUTION: An appropriately sized bolt and nut must be installed and torqued properly in all unused frame holes.
Failure to do so could result in a frame crack initiation around the hole.
CAUTION: Use care when drilling the frame web so the wires and air lines routed inside the rail are not
damaged. Failure to do so could cause an inoperable electrical or air system circuit.
CAUTION: Never use a torch to make holes in the rail. Use the appropriate diameter drill bit. Heat from a torch
will affect the material properties of the frame rail and could result in frame rail cracks.
CAUTION: The hole diameter should not exceed the bolt diameter by more than .060 inches (1.5mm).
If the body is mounted to the frame with U–bolts, use a hardwood sill (minimum 1/2 inch (12.7 mm) thick) between the
frame rail and body frame to protect the top surface of the rail flange.
WARNING! Do not allow the frame rails or flanges to deform when tightening the U–bolts. It will weaken the
frame and could cause an accident. Use suitable spacers made of steel or hardwood on the inside of the frame
rail to prevent collapse of the frame flanges.
Use a hardwood spacer between the bottom flange and the U–bolt to prevent the U–bolt from notching the frame flange.
See FIGURE 4-9.
FIGURE 4-9. Acceptable U-Bolt Mounting with Wood and Fabricated Spacers
WARNING! Do not allow spacers and other body mounting parts to interfere with brake lines, fuel lines, or wiring
harnesses routed inside the frame rail. Crimped or damaged brake lines, fuel lines, or wiring could result in loss
of braking, fuel leaks, electrical overload or a fire. Carefully inspect the installation to ensure adequate
clearances for air brake lines, fuel lines, and wiring. See FIGURE 4-10.
WARNING! Do not notch frame rail flanges to force a U–bolt fit. Notched or
damaged frame flanges could result in premature frame failure. Use a larger size U-bolt.
CAUTION: Mount U–bolts so they do not chafe on frame rail, air or electric lines.
However, some body installations may require slight modifications, while other installations will require extensive
modifications. Sometimes an existing dealer stock chassis may need to have the wheelbase changed to better fit a
customer’s application. The modifications may be as simple as modifying the frame cutoff, or as complex as modifying the
wheelbase.
DRILLING RAILS
If frame holes need to be drilled in the rail, see SECTION 4 BODY MOUNTING for more information.
CHANGING WHEELBASE
Changing a chassis’ wheelbase is not recommended.
Occasionally, however, a chassis wheelbase will need to be
shortened or lengthened. Before this is done there are a few
guidelines that should to be considered.
After lengthening a wheelbase, an additional crossmember may be required to maintain the original frame strength. The
maximum allowable distance between the forward suspension crossmember and the next crossmember forward is 47.2
inches (1200 mm). If the distance exceeds 47.2 inches (1200 mm) after the wheelbase is lengthened, add a crossmember
between them.
WELDING
The frame rails are heat treated and should not be welded. The high heat of welding nullifies the special heat treatment of
the rails, greatly reducing the tensile strength of the frame rail. If a frame member becomes cracked from overloading,
fatigue, surface damage or a collision, the only permanent repair is to replace the damaged frame member with a new
part.
The following information is provided (for temporary emergency repair). Prior to welding a cracked frame rail, the area
should be beveled (V’d out) to allow for a better weld. To prevent spreading of the crack, a 7 to 9 mm (1/4 in. to 3/8 in.)
dia. hole should be drilled at the end of the crack. Widen the crack along its full length by using two hack saw blades
together. When welding steel frames use the shielded arc method. When welding aluminum frames use either the
tungsten inert gas (TIG) or consumable electrode method. Be sure to obtain full weld penetration along the entire length of
the crack.
CAUTION:
Before welding, disconnect the negative terminal battery cable.
CAUTION:
Before welding, disconnect the alternator terminals. Failure to do so could result in damage to
the voltage regulator and/or alternator.
CAUTION:
To prevent damage to electrical equipment, disconnect battery cables before arc-welding on a
truck, and be sure that the welding ground lead is connected to the frame. Bearings and other
parts will be damaged if current must pass through them in order to complete the circuit.

This manual provides service information covering models equipped with the multiplexed instrumentation system. Before
attempting to make service repairs, the technician should be knowledgeable about the system design, components,
operation and troubleshooting procedures for diagnosing instrumentation problems.
Vehicle component inputs are sent to the ICU/CECU through the J1939 data bus or conventional wiring. The ICU/CECU
interprets the various inputs and monitors/controls the functions for each input through the ICU/CECU software. Output
signals from the ICU/CECU provide data for the gauges, warning lamps, audible alarms, and displays inside the cluster.
When used in conjunction with the Electronic Service Analyst (ESA) diagnostic software tool, the technician can review
fault codes stored in the ICU/CECU, verify whether the instrumentation is working properly and diagnose the root cause of
the problem more easily.
FIGURE 6-1. Instrument Control Unit and Electronic Control Unit (ICU/ECU)

attempting to make service repairs, the technician should be knowledgeable about the system design, components,
operation and troubleshooting procedures for diagnosing multiplexed instrumentation problems.
Electrical 389 Family 6
ELECTRONIC SERVICE AGENT (ESA)
Introduced in 2005, the Electronic Service Analyst (ESA) is the diagnostic software tool that is used to simplify the
troubleshooting of the new multiplexed instrumentation.
Early multiplexing in Peterbilt trucks was for the instrumentation system only. The module was known as the
Instrumentation Control Unit (ICU).
Now, as multiplexing from this control module is being used for systems other than just the instrumentation, the module
has been renamed the Cab Electronic Control Unit (CECU).
The CECU is an updated ICU. It is still located behind the center console, but now includes a few more circuits to in-
corporate the new features. ESA 2.0 is the tool for both.
Identifying which control module is in the vehicle helps determine what features are present and also aids in
troubleshooting.
IDENTIFICATIONS
Control module identification can be made using a few methods:
ECAT Identification
Using ECAT or ESA 2.0 are the easiest and most exact ways of determining the type of control module in the truck.
ECAT provides a parts list “as built” and Bill of Materials in formation for each specific truck. The catalog is searchable,
and contains the part number and identification of the truck’s instrument panel control module.
Connecting using ESA 2.0 brings up a control module information window. In this window, the fourth line item is the
Control Unit Type and identifies whether the truck has an ICU or CECU.
FIGURE 6-2. ESA Identification, Programming Date and Module Software Version
The CECU system has an updated feature that delays turning the dome light off when you close the door. The previous
ICU system did not have this function so the light turns off as soon as the door is shut. Therefore, if the dome light does
not turn off immediately after all doors are shut, then the vehicle has a CECU system. If the dome light does turn off
immediately, then the vehicle may be ICU OR CECU with this function disabled. In these cases, you will need to refer to
ECAT for verification.
Comparison Chart
The following charts show the differences between the ICU and CECU.
The first chart provides an alphabetical listing of the features available for either an ICU or CECU. Since the CECU is an
updated ICU, almost all of the features of an ICU are found in a CECU, except a few out dated options such as the
pyrometer.
The similarity of the modules is easily seen in the second chart as well. This chart is an abbreviated connector pinout of
each module. Since the same wiring connections are used for both modules, it’s easy to see that the CECU has more
circuits to handle the increase in multiplexed features.
The Icon Tray slides into the bottom of the cluster. The standard Icon Tray covers most warning light requirements;
editable icon lenses can be added for less common components that also require warning lights.
INTRODUCTION
This section provides service information covering Peterbilt Conventional Models equipped with the multiplexed
instrumentation system. Before attempting to make service repairs, the technician should be knowledgeable about the
system design, components, operation and troubleshooting procedures for diagnosing instrumentation problems.
Vehicle component inputs are sent to the ICU/CECU through the J1939 data bus or conventional wiring. The ICU/CECU
interprets the various inputs and monitors/controls the functions for each input through the ICU/CECU software. Output
signals from the ICU/CECU provide data for the gauges, warning lamps, audible alarms, and displays inside the cluster.
See Figure 6-5.
When used in conjunction with the Electronic Service Analyst (ESA) diagnostic software tool, the technician can review
fault codes stored in the ICU/CECU, verify whether the instrumentation is working properly and diagnose the root cause of
the problem more easily.
The Icon Tray slides into the bottom of the cluster. The standard Icon Tray covers most warning light requirements;
editable icon lenses can be added for less common components that also require warning lights.
The Driver Information Display, located at the top of the instrument cluster, displays vehicle information and warnings
through a constant monitoring of the vehicle systems. The various functions may be accessed by navigating through
menu screens using the menu control switch (rotational knob).
The software programming of the control module can be grouped into three main types:
• Run Time (RT) - which acts as the operating system where all communication takes place.
• Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) Code - manufacturer specific programmed code and software that is
developed, accessible and editable.
• Vendor Module - blocks of code that are developed for specific manufacturers to allow other features to be
implemented more efficiently.
To better understand how Electronic Service Analyst (ESA) functions and why there are current limitations on some of the
multiplexed features, by explaining what ESA can see. Currently ESA can look at all information that is communicated
between the RT and PLC Code portions of the programming. Any signals, be they inputs, outputs, or dataline signals,
sent between the RT and PLC Code are visible to ESA. These are the signals that may be monitored and simulated using
ESA.
Limitations with the ESA program are found in the communications that go to the pre-developed Vendor Modules.
Currently this information is not available for ESA to look at. That is why some features that have Vendor Module
programming, such as the odometer and the message display, are not available to monitor and/or simulate through ESA.
POWER ON SELF-TEST
• Ignition key turned ON.
• The speedometer and tachometer gauge pointers move from pointing at zero, counter-clockwise to their
mechanical limit (approx. -8°), remain there for 1 second and return to pointing at zero.
• At the same time, all LED indicators and telltales are switched on together, and then switched off together.
• A warning sound sequence is also activated five times without a break.
• The warning lamps in the cluster are all activated by the ICU/CECU, Three screens will sequentially display
warning icons on the Driver Information Display. The ICU/CECU receives direct wire inputs for all warning lamps
with the exception of the Low Coolant Level warning and the Traction Control/Stability Control lamp. These lamp
inputs are received via the J1939 (vehicle CAN) data link. The ICU/CECU typically receives the Trailer ABS
warnings via the J1939 (Vehicle CAN) data link, however it can also be direct wired to the ICU/CECU from the
ABS unit on the trailer, if required.
NOTE: Before replacing the ICU/CECU or any gauges, check the wiring and fuses, and perform the diagnostic tests using
ESA to verify that you are not replacing a good component.

fuel filter to the fuel pump. The restriction is measured by inches of mercury (in-Hg).
Fuel Level, Primary/Secondary (if equipped) The Primary Fuel gauge and Secondary Fuel gauge (if equipped) indicate
the approximate amount of fuel in each fuel tank. In addition to indicating empty and full, the gauge(s) also indicate the
fuel level in graduated increments. When the fuel level for each tank is below 1/4 full, a red warning light in the gauge
illuminates.
General Air Pressure #1, #2 The General Air Pressure gauge(s) are used for customer installed component applications.
General Oil Temperature The General Oil Temperature gauge(s) are used for customer installed component
applications.
Manifold Pressure (Boost) The Manifold Pressure (Boost) gauge indicates the power the engine is putting out by
showing the amount of turbo boost. If the pressure indicated by the manifold pressure gauge goes down, there may be
something wrong with the engine
Primary and Secondary Air Pressure Gauge The Primary Air Pressure gauge indicates pressure in the rear braking
system. The Secondary gauge indicates pressure in the front braking system. Each gauge indicates the amount of air
pressure in each system in pounds per square inch (psi). On vehicles equipped with metric air pressure gauges, the
gauge faceplate includes a kPa (major) scale and psi (minor) scale. If the pressure in either or both circuits falls below 65
psi, a red warning light in the gauge illuminates and an audible alarm tone sounds when the engine is running.

Passive - Has 2 wires and does not require power to operate. Output is a change in resistance.
The tail light connector is a 5-way connector located in the chassis harness at the end of frame. It will either be connected
to a tail light, a jumper harness, or tied up in the rail if no tail lights are provided.
JUNCTION BOX
The junction box easy access to various signals as outlined in Figure 6-8.
Warning! The J1939 databus is the communication link between the engine and the Anti-Lock Braking System
(ABS). Only J1939 compatible devices should be added to the databus. Some J1939 compatible aftermarket devices may
disrupt the ability of the databus to communicate. If the databus is disrupted by an aftermarket device, it must be removed
from the databus.
• Circuits added must be a twisted pair consisting of a minimum of 1 twist per inch.
• Individual breakout length of circuits added cannot exceed 118 inches.
• Do not splice into existing J1939 circuits. Use the connection points provided.
• J1939 circuits are for data transmission only and are not to be used for power or ground circuits.
• Any modifications must conform to SAE J1939-15.
J1939 ACCESS
All Peterbilt vehicles equipped with 2007 Emissions compliant engines include J1939-15 circuitry. The J1939 circuit can
be accessed in two locations. The first access is located inside the dash near the diagnostic connector. The second
access is at the driver side toward the rear of the engine.
1. Dash Access - Connector located in dash behind key switch panel approximately 1 foot down the harness
2. Engine Access - Connector located on OEM engine harness on driver’s side of engine toward the rear of engine
The most important advancement of NAMUX 4 instrumentation is the implementation of the Cab ECU controlling air
operated aftermarket devices. While it is still possible to wire completely outside of the Cab ECU system, utilizing the
CECU functions will make a cleaner installation and will maintain OEM functionality. NAMUX 4 expands controls to air
operated devices by receiving input from dash switches, remote (aftermarket) switches, sensors mounted to the
aftermarket equipment and other vehicle parameters (engine speed, transmission status etc.) With the proper
programming, the CECU will then process the inputs and will create a J-1939 Data instruction which is communicated to
another controller outside the cab called the Chassis Node. This chassis node receives the instruction and connects 12V
power to an air solenoid. 12V power will open the solenoid and supply air pressure to that air circuit.
In addition to NAMUX 4 technology, the vehicle electrical harness has been redesigned to minimize weight and reduce
various connectors (which have been proven to increase the opportunity for electrical malfunctions which also increase
the amount of time to troubleshoot). What this means for the aftermarket installer is that there is a limitation to modifying
a vehicle with aftermarket equipment if the vehicle was not originally specified for those options from the factory. To the
aftermarket installer, more time will be spent installing pins and routing wires instead of simply installing jumper harnesses
if the vehicle was not specified with ‘customer installed’ equipment from the factory. For example, vehicles ordered with a
‘customer installed’ PTO will have connectors on the vehicle for aftermarket connectors. A vehicle specified with standard
radio will not have a pigtail for premium sound speakers.
Electrical 579 Family 7
DIAGNOSTICS CONNECTOR
For Model Year 2017 (Calendar Year 2016) engines, Peterbilt utilizes a faster connection for diagnostics. Before this time
frame, a 250 kbps baud rate was utilized with a black Type 1 diagnostics connector. After this timeframe, U.S. and
Canadian market chassis (not export engines or natural gas engines) will utilize a new green Type 2 connector at 500
kbps band rate. This new connection will utilize the faster connection specifically for OBD CAN diagnostics on the C and
D terminals, while still broadcasting the Vehicle CAN on the F and G terminals (see figure below for comparison). In order
to connect properly, a “Y” adapter cable is required to connect various service tools (DAVIE, ESA, Eaton ServiceRanger,
Allison DOC, Wabco Toolbox). On the “Y” adapter, both green (new) and black (old) connections are provided to allow
compatibility with 2016 and later as well as pre-2016 chassis without the need to remove the adapter.
Becoming familiar with the various connectors available to the aftermarket installer is important. This section contains
reference information for the connectors that are used to add equipment.
HARNESS DESIGN
The 579 and the vocational 567 are designed and manufactured with a cab harness that is chassis specific. The new
design minimizes the number of connectors which improves routing, reduces electrical problems and reduces diagnostic
time when servicing. The new design, however, changes the way electrical components are added to the vehicle for final
use customers. The after-market installer will have several options available:
1. Ensure that the vehicle is ordered and specified with the equipment installed or at least have ‘furnish by owner’
provision.
2. Install electronic accessories outside of the CECU network, direct power from the power distribution center and no
splicing into the cab harness.
3. Route new wires and install pins to the designated pin location on all connectors.
It is imperative that the installer never splice into a cab harness for signal or power purposes.
The body builder will need to find the 12-pin remote throttle connector, located in the engine compartment on the engine
harness. See the PTO Section for additional information
SPARE POWER
Spare power connector P096 is located on lower left side of dash behind key switch or kick panel. The mating harness is
available from PACCAR parts with pre-labeled pigtails, P92-8916-000000001. Any spare power requiring more than 20
amps must go directly to the battery box, not this spare circuit.
Pin Spare Circuit No. Designation Fuse Location and Max Rating
F ORN0731-001 Spare Ignition #2 Cab Side M13 - 20A
Grounding any post-OEM component/device/apparatus/etc. to the metal cab structure or frame is not acceptable. Failure
to properly ground add-on components can result in vehicle damage and possibly bodily injury.
Ground all post-OEM component/device/apparatus/etc. with combined current draw of less than 30A to the firewall ground
buss bar with appropriately sized wire/cable for the load required.
FIGURE 7-7. Grounding Point - Cab Interior Behind Driver’s Side Kick Panel
Post OEM components/devices/apparatus/etc. with combined current draw in excess of 30A, ground must be attained
from vehicle batteries directly with appropriately sized wire/cable for the load required.
FIGURE 7-10. Spare circuit location on Power Distribution Center (Dash-Side, P001)
The installer needs to identify where these two components are located.
Two connectors are located on the left hand frame rail forward of the forward rear drive axle (approximately 3 feet forward
Bogie Centerline).
P803 is to install axle temperature sensors and J803 is to connect differential lock mechanisms.
B-CAN INTERFACE
FIGURE 7-22. Chassis Node and Electric Over Air Solenoid Bank
Spare power is found via a connector behind the fuse panel cover (left hand side of the dash, below the ignition switch).
This connector is labeled P096.
All truck lift axles (pushers and tag), are direct wire Electric-Only from the switch to the axle mounted solenoid. This is not
from the EoA Solenoid Bank. There are a total of four lift axle controls available; 3 pushers and 1 tag axle. These are
controlled with separate switches by default.
The customer can order the following configurations; steerable, non-steerable, with auto-reverse, and with park brake
interlock. A lift axle comes with a control switch (single or separate), a gauge, and a regulator valve.
Trailer lift axles can be either EoA or Electric-Only type. There are a total of two available EoA trailer lift axle controls
using latching solenoids. If one axle is ordered, the customer will receive a switch labeled “Trailer Lift Axle”. If two axles
are ordered the customer can have a single switch that controls both axles or two switches. If two switches are present
they are labeled “Forward Trailer Lift Axle” and “Rear Trailer Lift Axle”.
Air solenoids used on the vehicle are both of Latching and Non Latching types.
For safety reasons, certain circuits are designed with latching type solenoid valves. These circuits include but are not
limited to:
The aftermarket installer/final vehicle manufacturer needs to decide what type of valve to install and ensure that the
documentation to the operator provides them with enough understanding of how the customized switches work.
NOTE: General air accessory, when ordered from the factory, is wired to a non-latching solenoid. Therefore,
general air accessory options will reset when the ignition is turned off. If a latching solenoid is installed on a
“furnish by owner” air accessory, the installer will need to document how the system operates.
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).
Cab ECU parameters are used to define whether a function is turned on in the system. Control hardware may be installed,
however it will not function until the software is programmed to use it.
JUNCTION BOX
The junction box provides easy access to various signals.
Warning! The J1939 databus is the communication link between the engine and the Anti-Lock Braking System
(ABS). Only J1939 compatible devices should be added to the databus. Some J1939 compatible aftermarket devices may
disrupt the ability of the databus to communicate. If the databus is disrupted by an aftermarket device, it must be removed
from the databus.
• Circuits added must be a twisted pair consisting of a minimum of 1 twist per inch.
• Individual breakout length of circuits added cannot exceed 118 inches.
• Do not splice into existing J1939 circuits. Use the connection points provided.
• J1939 circuits are for data transmission only and are not to be used for power or ground circuits.
• Any modifications must conform to SAE J1939.
J1939 Access
All Peterbilt vehicles include J1939 circuitry. The J1939 circuit can be accessed in two locations. The first access is lo-
cated inside the dash near the diagnostic connector. The second access is at the driver side toward the rear of the
engine.
1. Dash Access - Connector located in dash behind key switch panel approximately 1 foot down the harness
Generally, installing gauges and switches into the dash board will require installing pins in a connector of the CECU if a
connector is not present. The CECU will then need to be re-programmed to accept the new instruments.
After installing the instruments in the cab, and before re-programming the CECU, the electric over air solenoid will need to
be installed onto the solenoid bank. These instructions do not apply to vehicles that have all spaces on the solenoid bank
already in use by some device.
Once the solenoid is installed, wiring must be installed between the chassis node and the solenoid. Then the ground wire
should be installed between the solenoid and the ground splice. Air supply to the solenoid bank is already in place, but air
lines from the output of the solenoid to the air operated device will need to be installed.
The CECU may be programmed by using the software Electronic Service Application (ESA). The engine will need to be
programmed using the engine specific software.
The solenoid bank and chassis node may be removed without removing the battery box, however this will not provide
access to the splice block needed for ground connection.
Dump body applications will be able to utilize a function such that when the PTO is active (and the dump body is being
lifted), the body is sitting on the suspension bump stops. This provides a more stable platform than the airbag.
The solenoid bank contains up to 10 solenoid positions. Latching solenoids will occupy 2 spaces while non-latching
solenoids occupy only one position. Positions 1-8 are controlled by multiplexed signals and are wired directly to the
chassis node control unit. Position 9 and 10 are hard wired and can be controlled directly by a dash switch. Latching
solenoids may only occupy positions1 & 2, 3 & 4, or 6 & 7. Non-latching solenoids may be placed in any position
available.
FIGURE 7-44. EOA Solenoid Location for Chassis Built Prior to 1/1/2016
FIGURE 7-45. EOA Solenoid Location for Chassis Built After 1/1/2016
FIGURE 7-46. EOA Solenoid Layout and Positions for Chassis Built Prior to 1/1/2016
Sample solenoid layout and solenoid part numbers. Location shown for chassis built before 1/1/2016.
When programming a latching solenoid, it will require two pigtail connectors per solenoid. In the example shown in Figure
7-51 an air suspension dump latching solenoid with a speed interlock is in positions 1 & 2 on the solenoid bank and
connected to the pigtails for “EOA SOL #1” and “EOA SOL #2”. The lowest position of the pigtails will be programmed as
the latching function, while the higher number pigtail will be programmed as “None”.
Please reference the diagram on the following page shown in Figure 7-54. The dash switch when switched to the PTO ON
position, sends a 12V (+) signal out to the TCU pin 43 as well as pin 30 of the Allison 130 relay. This 12V signal is also
sent out to the pin 33 of the cab harness to the transmission harness connector. Pin 33 is not used for anything as
configured from the factory. The Allison TCU will trigger pin 85 to close the Allison 130 relay, thus sending a 12V (+)
signal out via pin 87 to pin B on connector P621 or P623 on the Allison transmission harness. If neither of these
connectors was optioned on the chassis (see above), then the PTO up fitter will need to pick this signal up at pin 34 of the
firewall connector J620. Pin A of connector P621/P623 is a permanent ground signal. This is fed from pin 55 of the J620
firewall connector.
The following section identifies ways to access the dash to install or modify the vehicle for aftermarket devices.
To install new telltales into the instrument cluster, the cluster will need to be removed from the dash. The instrument panel
trim is removed after removing the panel immediately to the right of the instrument cluster. Then 4 fasteners hold the
instrument cluster to the dash structure.
A Power Take Off (PTO) provides a way to divert some or all of the trucks engine power to another component. There are
a wide variety of PTO options available on a Peterbilt that are described below.
MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS
This is the most common type of PTO that is used. On a manual transmission there are two locations for PTO’s. On
medium duty transmissions there are 6 bolt PTO locations on the right and left (Figure 8-2). On heavy duty manual
transmissions there is a 6 bolt PTO on the right and an 8 bolt PTO on the bottom left (Figure 8-3). There are also some
options for a thru shaft or extended countershaft PTO. On a thru shaft PTO, the counter shaft extends out through the
back of the transmission which can be used to power a PTO (Figure 8-4). When using a thru shaft PTO the vehicle must
be spec’d with the correct option as not all transmissions will be set up for use with thru shaft PTO’s. For more information
go to www.roadranger.com and enter “PTO Installation Guide” in the search bar in the upper right corner.
FIGURE 8-2. MD Manual Transmission FIGURE 8-3. HD Manual Transmission FIGURE 8-4. Thru Shaft PTO
POWER TAKE-OFF (PTO) 8
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS
On Allison transmissions there are two locations for PTO’s. The Allison 4000 series has PTO locations at 1 and 8 o’clock
viewed from the back of the transmission. See Figure 8-5. The 4000HS transmissions do not have any PTO locations.
The 3000 series Allison transmissions have PTO locations at 4 and 8 o’clock (Figure 8-6). For more information on using
PTO’s with an Allison transmission go to www.allisontransmission.com and refer to the “Rugged Duty Series Brochure”
and “PTO Request Flyer” which is available in a 1000/2000 version and a 3000/4000 version.
Some PTO configurations will have clearance issues with other components on the truck. With manual transmissions, a 6-
bolt PTO on the right will typically clear most components when the DPF and SCR are under the cab. This is also true
when 30 and 45 degree adapters are used. The 8-bolt bottom mount PTO will not have any issues unless you are running
a driveshaft back to another component and the truck has a crossover style exhaust. In this case, the DPF and SCR
would block any routing for the driveshaft. If a wet kit is used in this scenario there is enough room to mount the PTO and
the hydraulic pump without interfering with the exhaust. On Allison 4000 series transmissions, most PTO’s will fit in the 1
o’clock position without interfering with the cab. If a wet kit is used here, the dipstick housing will most likely need to be
modified as it runs over the top of the transmission to the driver side of the vehicle. The PTO in the 8 o’clock position is
typically ok. The same issue with crossover exhaust would apply here as well. There are some scenarios where the PTO
will be very close to or could interfere with the rear spring shackle on the front suspension. This problem can occur on
vehicles with a set-back front axle and the problem is amplified on the short hood models.
FIGURE 8-5. Allison 4000 Series FIGURE 8-6. Allison 3000 Series
This application guide indicates if a PTO has sufficient clearance to truck components in various mounting configurations.
A green "ok" indicates that there is sufficient clearance to other truck components. A red "x" indicates that there minimal
or no clearance and the application is not recommended. The truck components investigated in this guide include frame
rails, Set Back Front Axle (SBFA) rear shackle, SBFA Front Air Suspension (FAS) rear shackle, over-bell frame brace,
coolant return manifold, transmission clutch actuator, and exhaust system components.
Usage Notes:
3) Horizontal crossover exhaust limits access behind PTO's for shaft drives and other PTO attachments.
4) Eaton FR transmissions require the use of a 30° adapter when installing Chelsea or Muncie transmission
PTO's in the right hand position.
5) Eaton RT & Ultrashift Plus transmissions require the use of a 49° adapter when installing Chelsea
transmission PTO’s in the right hand position.
6) Eaton RT & Ultrashift Plus transmissions require the use of a 55° adapter when installing Muncie
transmission PTO’s in the right hand position.
7) Eaton transmissions require the use of a 6 to 8 Bolt adapter when installing a 6 bolt PTO in the bottom
position.
PTO CONTROLS
The 579/567 models have been designed to use electric in-dash switches to control air solenoids which
engage/disengage transmission PTOs. This system allows for increased control and interlock opportunities. This also
keeps air lines for transmission PTO controls from routing inside the cab. In cab air valve actuators for transmission PTO
control are still available and are located on the cab floor on the LH side of the driver’s seat. Air valve style transmission
PTO actuators should not be installed on the dash due to the difficulty of air-line routing. Customer installed transmission
PTO controls for use with customer installed transmission PTO's include a chassis and dash harness pre-wire to ease the
installation of in-dash transmission PTO controls at the body builder. It is strongly recommended that the truck be coded
for this if transmission PTO(s) could be installed after initial in-service date.
Notes:
1) Not available with Front Air Leaf Suspension.
2) Not available with Horizontal Crossover or Right Hand behind Fairing Exhaust Systems.
3) Restricted PTO access with RH Cab Step Assembly DPF-SCR exhaust systems with Vertical BOS
tailpipes or RH Horizontal Tailpipe below rail.
4) The Optional Hydraulic Clutch Orientation must be used with this PTO.

On Allison transmissions, the PTO’s will require an electric signal. We do not currently offer an electric PTO switch for the
389 family, but there are several options available. The most common method of getting an electric signal for the PTO is
to get a factory air switch and install a pressure switch on the air line. It is recommended to provide a 12 volt signal to the
transmission control module (TCM) and have the TCM programmed to check for specific requirements such as engine
speed, gear selection, output speed etc. before engaging the PTO. If the TCM logic is bypassed and the PTO is engaged
directly it could cause damage to the PTO and the transmission. Contact your local Allison rep for more information.
PTO CONTROLS
The 579/567 models use Electric Over Air (EOA) or Electric Over Hydraulic (EOH) controls to supply the signal to activate
the PTO. The EOA controls are recommended for manual or automated transmissions. The EOH controls are
recommended for automatic transmissions.
The EOA controls feature a valve that is located under the left hand side of the cab as shown in Detail “B” of Figure 8-20.
The valve converts an electrical signal from the PTO dash switch into an air supply. This air supply is then plumbed to the
PTO activation port for manual transmissions, or a pressure switch for automatic transmissions (automatic transmissions
require an electrical signal for PTO engagement).
The EOH controls will send an electrical signal from the PTO dash switch to the transmission harness that will activate the
PTO function of the transmission.
FIGURE 8-20.
The EOA controls are used to engage the PTO, but to get the engine to go in to PTO mode a signal must be sent from the
PTO to the engine. When pin 2 (PTO engaged signal) of the chassis PTO connector is grounded, the engine will go to
PTO mode. This can be done by using the PTO activation switch on the PTO to close a circuit between pin 2 and pin 1
(chassis ground) of the chassis PTO connector. This will also activate the dash icon to notify the operator PTO mode is
engaged. The chassis PTO connector is located inside the rail adjacent to the transmission as shown in Detail “C” of
Figure 8-20.

PTO OPTIONS
Single acting PTOs have a single air control. A single chassis node output controls the air solenoid, and the air pressure
engages the PTO, and the lack of air pressure at the control port disengages the PTO from the driveline.
Double acting PTOs have a dual air control. One air controls the engagement, and one air control controls the
disengagement. This can be achieved one of two ways:
1) A Single Acting PTO is configured. The engage air control port is connected to the chassis node output and a pilot
inversion valve in the chassis air plumbing is connected to the second disengage air control port
2) Two chassis node outputs control the PTO. One chassis node output and solenoid is connected to the engage air
control port of the PTO, and one chassis node output and solenoid is connect to the disengage air control port.
If the Cab ECU detects the switch in the on position and if applicable, the park brake interlock is validated by the Cab
ECU, the Cab ECU will send a mux signal to the chassis node via F-CAN. The EOA valve will be the same number as on
the dash switch. Electronic Service Application (ESA) can be used to add or remove the PTO engage park brake
interlock. Depending on the application and the PTO type, the switches and wiring may differ.
For single acting PTO, the chassis node will energize the coil on the EOA valve allowing air to engage the PTO.
For dual acting PTO, the PTO's pilot valve will provide the air function to switch the air between engage and dis-
engage.
If the Cab ECU detects both the forward and reverse switches in the on position the Cab ECU will ignore the switch input
for the second switch thrown and provide a message in the cluster display informing the operator of the non-valid switch
configuration.
PTO engaged warning lamp Peterbilt is an editable telltale and requires a diode.
The diodes prevent relay coil back feed from driving the CECU input high which could activate the warning lamp
(bi-stable input) giving false indications.
CK_K10 spare relay #3 is used to power the PTO hour meter whenever the PTO engaged warning lamp is on.
The 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 (grounded) when active, a relay is needed to convert the low (ground) signal to a high (+12V DC)
signal. This relay is installed below the left hand side of the cab near the chassis node. 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 remote throttle/PTO 12-way connector is located on the back, left hand side of the engine as shown in Detail “A” of
Figure 8-20. See Figure 8-24 for pin out information of the 12-way connector. There are also 16-way and 23-way
connectors available for setting up dual station controls or other high content applications. See Figure 8-27 for the 16-way
pin out information and Figure 8-28 for the 23-way pin out information. The CECU parameters for REMOTE PTO
CONTROL and REMOTE THROTTLE CONTROL may need to be enabled.
There are two common methods of utilizing remote engine speed controls:
1) A 5V variable signal can be used to control the engine speed via a potentiometer. For this configuration the CECU
parameter for REMOTE THROTTLE may need to be activated.
-For the MX engine, pins 3, 4 and 10 can be connected to the potentiometer to convert the 5V signal to a remote
throttle signal.
-For Cummins engines, pins 4, 10 and 11 can be used the same way as described above for the MX engine.
2) The engine speed can be bumped up or down using momentary switches or preset speeds. For this configuration
the CECU parameter for REMOTE PTO may need to be activated.
-For the MX engine, momentarily connecting pin 8 to pin 2 will increase the engine speed. Momentarily
connecting pin 8 to pin 1 will decrease the engine speed.
-For Cummins engines, the engine will go to the first set speed when PTO mode is initially activated by applying
ground from pin 3 to PTO ON/OFF pin 5. If this connection is broken and reapplied within 0.5 seconds, the engine
will go to set speed 2. If this is done again, the engine will go to set speed 3 and so on. There are up to 5 preset
speeds that can be modified using INSITE. If the connection is broken longer than 0.5 seconds and then
reapplied, the engine will go back to set speed 1.

Following is a list of pin descriptions, and the required input or supplied output signal type for both the 23 way (P664) and
the 16 way (P665) connectors for both PACCAR MX and Cummins engines. Also following are examples of wiring
connections for common items used.
MODELS 567/579
Models 567 and 579 use a relay box to transfer signals to the engine ECM and the Eaton Transmission ECU if equipped
with an Eaton automated transmission. The 12 pin connector (P111A) will be connected to the chassis harness PTO
connector which will move the 12 pin connector towards the rear of the frame.
PACCAR MX ENGINES
Typical relay set up pictured in Figure 8-29 for models equipped with PACCAR engines. The chassis harness may be
equipped with connector P198 and the engine harness may be equipped with connector P197 if the chassis is optioned
accordingly. See Figure 8-30 on the following page for system schematic. For the PTO engaged signal, a ground signal
can be connected to Pin 5 of the P197 connector, or pin 2 of the P198 connector. This signal will activate the MX Engine
PTO relay, the Eaton PTO relay, the dash warning telltale, and the hour meter if equipped.
FIGURE 8-30. Electrical Schematic for PACCAR Engine and Eaton Transmission Equipped Chassis
FIGURE 8-32. Electrical Schematic for Cummins Engine and Eaton Transmission Equipped Chassis
MX ENGINES
The MX PTO relay is required to convert the low PTO engaged signal to a high signal for the MX ECU. The MX PTO relay
(P27-1151) is used to convert this signal. The MX PTO relay coil receives 12V IGN power from fuse E_E9 body IGN from
pin 7 of the MX engine harness PTO/remote throttle connector (P111). When a PTO engages the PTO engage circuit has
a path to ground. This ground path allows current to flow through the MX PTO relay coil. When the MX PTO relay is active
the MX ECU receives a high input signaling that the PTO is engaged.
PTO:
When the PTO is not engaged the Namco sensor sends a high signal on pin 2 (J195) energizing the Namco PTO
relay coil (P27-1150). When the Namco PTO relay is energized no signal leaves the relay. When the PTO is
engaged the sensor output goes low. The Namco PTO relay coil de-energizes and the PTO warning lamp is
grounded.
When the Namco axle clutch is in road mode the Namco sensor sends a high signal on pin 4 (J195) energizing
the Namco pump relay coil (P27-1150). While the Namco pump relay is energized no signal leaves the relay.
When the Namco front axle clutch is not engaged the Namco sensor sends a high signal on pin 5 (J195)
energizing the Namco front axle clutch relay coil (P27-1150). While the Namco pump relay is energized no signal
leaves the relay. When the front axle is clutched for front axle power the sensor output goes low. The Namco
pump relay coil de-energizes and the front axle clutch circuit is grounded.
Chassis with a Namco split shaft PTO will also be provided with a 6-way connector to connect to the Namco
sensor jumper harness (J195).
Three circuits are passed to the IP harness, PTO, pump mode sense, front axle clutch via the chassis to IP connection
(J161/P033).
Two 12-way connectors are provided to connect to the MX or ISX engine harness remote throttle/PTO connector
(P197/J197).
The Eaton PTO relay, MX PTO relay, Namco PTO relay, Namco pump relay and Namco front axle clutch relay are
located in a 40-way sealed relay box mounted behind the chassis node.
There are 4 different split shaft PTO/transfer case jumper harnesses. They account for, rear & front axle, rear &
one PTO, rear & two PTO's, rear & front & one PTO configurations.
The chassis harness provides for a 4-way connector to connect to a PTO sensor harness. It will always be
capped for shipment to the plant (P198/J198).
Pin 1 - wht4395, provides vehicle ground for 2-pin PTO engagement switches
Pin 2 - gra4395, PTO engaged signal. When low activates the PTO engaged warning lamp.
Pin 3 - gra4355, pump mode engaged signal - When low activates the pump mode warning lamp.
Pin 4 - gra3521, rear axle clutch engaged signal - When low activates the front axle clutch warning lamp.
With key switch to “RUN” position, all the telltale icons will turn on briefly. PTO icon below will be illuminated green to the
left side of the Driver Performance Center.
If the factory did not install the PTO or did not install the PTO pre-wire you may have to install wiring from the PTO
engagement switch to the instrument panel harness to illuminate this icon. Your dealer will have access to your truck’s
Instrumentation diagram. That drawing will have a picture of the cluster and will help identify how to turn on the PTO ICON
you saw doing the key switch test above.
The model 389 family will have up to 5 additional telltales available for use. Some of these may be already used
depending on chassis options. The pigtails will be located behind the dash behind the instrument cluster or kick panel
area on the driver’s side, see Figure 8-37 for the schematic. The active inputs are bi-polar, meaning the active signal can
be ground or power. These will have to be programmed to specific applications in the Electronic Service Analyst (ESA)
tool if they are to be changed from the default settings. The ESA screen shot in Figure 8-47 shows the default settings.
There are also up to 4 additional alarms that can be used. These inputs will also use a bipolar signal for activation.

The standard telltale card has a GREEN PTO icon in position #2 (shown above). To activate this icon, locate where (6)
RED, GREEN and YELLOW labeled 2-way connectors are taped to the instrument panel harness on the left side of the
cup holder. One of these 2-way connectors has a GREEN label with the text “EDITABLE TELLTALE #2 P025”. A gray wire
goes to pin 2 of this connector. When that gray wire is grounded the PTO icon will turn on. No programing is needed, and
it can be easily tested before wiring with a ground wire jumper (reference electrical section for new telltale light connector
information).
The model 567/579 family will have up to 6 additional telltales available for use. Some of these may be taken up by other
options already ordered on the chassis. The pigtails will be located behind the dash near the center section and will be
close to the air pressure transducers. The active inputs are bi-polar, meaning the active signal can be ground or power.
These will have to be programmed to specific applications in the Electronic Service Analyst (ESA) tool if they are to be
changed from the default settings. The ESA screen shot in Figure 8-44 shows the default settings. Telltale positions 1 and
2 will be green illuminated color, positions 3, 4 and 5 will be amber illuminated color, and position 6 will be red. By default,
the PTO mode telltale icon will be in position 2 as shown on the instrument cluster illustration in Figure 8-42. A trailer
dump belly icon will be placed in position 6 by default, and a pump mode icon may be placed in position 1. There are also
up to 4 additional alarms that can be used. These inputs will also use a bipolar signal for activation.
FIGURE 8-43. Model 567/579 Family Schematic for Telltale Input Pigtails
• Application of a ground signal to pin 2 of the P198 connector will put the engine into PTO mode and illuminate the dash
PTO telltale light (if equipped)
• PTO hardwired controls should be connected at the J197 or P198 connectors
• If vehicle is not equipped with P201 connector it may be necessary to make your own harness to connect to P198
• If vehicle is not equipped with J197 or P198 connectors, PTO hardwired controls should be connected directly to the
P111c connector
• Layout and population of 40-Way Snow Plow/PTO Relay will differ depending upon PTO sales code, transmission type
and vehicle model
Troubleshooting:
For sporadic or inconsistent PTO performance: Check and replace the 10A fuse in location “E9” and 20A fuse in location
“N9” in the Power Distribution Center (PDC) on the engine side of the firewall in front of the driver. If these fuses are
blown there will not be +12V power at pin 7 or 11 of the Remote Throttle Connectors (P111C or P197)
For sporadic or inconsistent PTO performance: Check that relays and fuses in the 40-Way Snow Plow/PTO Relay Box are
present and not loose.
INTRODUCTION
This section is intended to be used in conjunction with the PACCAR MX Programming Guide. There are a number of
parameters that must be set to enable PTO functionality on PACCAR MX Engines. The MX Programming Guide explains
how to set these parameters for your application in section 12 “Power Take-Off Engine Speed Control (PTO Mode)”.
This section explains how to configure trucks with MX engines in one of the four PTO options as listed below:
1. Stationary In-cab PTO control
2. Mobile In-cab PTO control
3. Stationary Remote PTO with hardwired control
4. Stationary Remote PTO control over BCAN
5. Stationary Remote PTO with TSC1 control
Depending on the configuration used, it may require one or more of the following:
1. Electrical Wiring Installation
2. Reprogramming of MX Engine using PEP and DAVIE
3. Reprogramming of CECU using ESA
This section explains only the parameter configurations that are specific to one of the four options listed above. There are a
number of common parameters that must be configured which are explained in section 12 “Power Take-Off Engine Speed
Control (PTO Mode)” of the MX Programming Guide.
0x0F may be sent to bypass the checksum function. This may be acceptable for PACCAR, but in the event that it is
decided the checksum must be used, it is calculated as follows:
• Checksum = (Byte1 + Byte2 + Byte3 + Byte4 + Byte5 + Byte6 + Byte7 Message Counter & 0Fn +
Message Identifier byte0 + Message Identifier byte1 + Message Identifier byte2 + Message Identifier
byte3)
WARNING All configured PTO safeties, limits and interlocks will be observed if the prescribed message format
is followed. Using messages or format other than the PACCAR PTO TSC1 Message Requirements
may result in unexpected vehicle and equipment behavior.
If customer BBM is not powered on at ignition key on a low rate fault CECU configuration is not
necessary for standalone TSC1 PTO control
FIGURE 8-46.
• If using TSC1 PTO control and an in-cab PTO ON/OFF switch is required the CECU must be
configured according to cab hardwired control
• If using an in-cab PTO ON/OFF switch t is still necessary to send the a CAN PTO ON message on
VCAN to make the engine enter PTO mode
FIGURE 8-47.
To activate In-Cab PTO Control, there is a PTO switch in the cab that needs to be turned ON by the operator. This PTO
ON/OFF switch is hardwired to the CECU which activates the PTO equipment. The PTO engagement feedback signal
wire must be connected to CECU and Engine as shown in the diagram. Refer to “Electrical” section of this manual for
more information on wiring.
When the PTO switch is ON and the engine receives signal that PTO is engaged, the engine changes its state to “PTO
Mode” and the CECU will activate the PTO telltale on the cluster. For more information on engine behavior in PTO mode,
please refer MX Programming Guide.
The engine speed in PTO Mode can be controlled by the cruise control switches or the accelerator pedal inside the cab
depending on how the MX Engine is configured. This is explained in Section 1.2 in the BBM. Refer to the MX
programming guide for further details on engine speed control in PTO Mode.
There are two ways to configure In-Cab PTO Control depending on application:
For both these options, the configuration on CECU is the same as described in section 1.1. The engine should be
configured differently depending on whether the accelerator pedal is needed along with the cruise control switch for In-
Cab PTO control. This is done by selecting the right sales code using PEP as explained below.
In PEP, click “Edit Parameters” button to enable editing and scroll down to PTO section “PTO Mode Preferences”.
Towards the end of the section, there will be an entry for “Type of PTO Controls – Enable/Disable (S074)” which can be
edited by making a selection from a dropdown menu. From this dropdown menu, select one of the sales codes shown:
Once the selection is made, scroll to the top of the page or to the bottom of the page to “Save” the changes. Once the
changes are saved, select “Submit” and download the new file when it becomes available and program it on the engine
using DAVIE.
To activate Hard-Wired Remote PTO Control, there is a PTO switch in the cab that needs to be turned ON by the
operator. This PTO ON/OFF switch is hardwired to the CECU which activates the PTO equipment. The PTO engagement
feedback signal wire must be connected to CECU and Engine as shown in the diagram.
When the PTO switch is ON and the engine receives signal that PTO is engaged, the engine changes its state to “PTO
Mode” and the CECU will activate the PTO telltale on the cluster. For more information on engine behavior in PTO mode,
please refer MX Programming Guide.
The engine speed is controlled by the customer installed Remote PTO Controls. The Remote PTO Controls have digital
Set and Resume signals and an analog Accelerator signal hardwired to the CECU. The CECU sends these inputs to the
Engine via V-CAN using standard SAE messages as shown in Table 8-9. The Remote PTO Controls are hardwired to the
CECU using 12-pin PACCAR connector as explained in “Electrical” section of this manual.

REMOTE PTO CONTROL OVER BCAN WITH HARDWIRED PTO ENGAGEMENT TO ENGINE
FIGURE 8-52. Remote PTO Control over BCAN with PTO ON/OFF Switch Hardwired to CECU
To activate Remote PTO Control over BCAN as shown here, there is a PTO switch in the cab that needs to be turned ON
by the operator. This PTO ON/OFF switch is hardwired to the CECU which activates the PTO equipment. The PTO
engagement feedback signal wire must be connected to CECU and Engine as shown in the diagram. Refer to “Electrical”
section of this manual for more information on wiring.
When the PTO switch is ON and the engine receives signal that PTO is engaged, the engine changes its state to “PTO
Mode” and the CECU will activate the PTO telltale on the cluster. For more information on engine behavior in PTO mode,
please refer MX Programming Guide.
The engine speed is controlled by the customer installed PTO Control on the BBM. The CECU gets the “Set”, “Resume”
and “Accelerator” signal from the Body Builder Module over B-CAN. The CECU sends these signals to the Engine via
V-CAN using standard SAE messages as shown in Table. The PTO engagement feedback is hardwired to the CECU and
the engine using 12-pin PACCAR connector as explained in “Electrical” section of this manual.
NOTE: When the engine is configured for this PTO option, the Engine expects the J1939 messages from the
BBM when- ever the key switch is in the ignition position. If the key is turned ON without having a PTO signal
from BBM over B-CAN, the engine will log these active fault codes shown in Table 8-13. These codes will become
inactive when the BBM starts sending signals. This can be avoided if the ignition and the BBM PTO controls are
powered ON at the same time.
To configure Remote PTO Control over BCAN with hardwired PTO Engagement Feedback to Engine, the
following parameters must be set in CECU using ESA as shown in Table.

MX engines.
FIGURE 8-55. Remote PTO Control over BCAN with PTO ON/OFF Switch Signal over BCAN
To set up Remote PTO Control over BCAN as shown here, there is an ON/OFF switch located on the customer installed
BBM. The “PTO ON/OFF” signal is sent from the BBM to the CECU over B-CAN which sends this signal to the Engine
over V-CAN. The PTO engagement feedback signal wire must be connected to the CECU by the customer. Refer to
“Electrical” section of this manual for more information on wiring.
When the PTO switch is ON and the engine receives signal that PTO is engaged, the engine changes its state to “PTO
Mode” and the CECU will activate the PTO telltale on the cluster. For more information on engine behavior in PTO mode,
please refer MX Programming Guide.
The engine speed is controlled by the customer installed PTO Control on the BBM. The CECU gets the “SET”, “RESUME”
and “ACCELERATOR” signal from the BBM over B-CAN. The CECU sends them to the Engine via V-CAN using standard
SAE messages as show:
TABLE 8-16. J1939 signals from CECU (SA 0x31) to Engine over VCAN
Label Description
SPN974 Remote Accelerator Pedal Position
SPN979 Engine Remote PTO Governor Preprogrammed Speed Control Switch
SPN3447 Remote PTO Governor Preprogrammed Speed Control Switch #2
SPN982 Engine PTO Resume Switch
SPN984 Engine PTO Set Switch
NOTE: When the engine is configured for this PTO option, the Engine expects the J1939 messages from the BBM
when- ever the key switch is in the ignition position. If the key is turned ON without having a PTO signal from BBM
over B-CAN, the engine will log these active fault codes shown in Table 8-17. These codes will become inactive
when the BBM starts sending signals. This can be avoided if the ignition and the BBM PTO controls are powered
ON at the same time.

•If using TSC1 PTO control and an in-cab PTO ON/OFF switch is required the CECU must be configured
according to cab hardwired control
•If using an in-cab PTO ON/OFF switch t is still necessary to send the a CAN PTO ON message on VCAN to
make the engine enter PTO mode (See PACCAR PTO TSC1 Message Requirements for details)

There are two ways to configure remote PTO Control depending on application:
For both these options, the configuration on CECU is the same as described in section. The engine should be configured
for one of the above options which are done by selecting the right sales code using PEP as explained below.
Once these selections are made, scroll to the top of the page or to the bottom of the page to “Save” the changes. Once
the changes are saved, select “Submit” and download the new file when it becomes available and program it on the
engine using DAVIE.

5. Reference
Paccar MX Engine can be programmed to have preset values for multiple features when operating in PTO mode. The
features available when configuring PTO Mode with PACCAR MX Engines are described in the MX Programming
Guide.
All Peterbilt’s equipped with 2017 emission level engines will utilize Selective Catalyst Reduction (SCR). SCR is a process
in which Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) is injected into the exhaust downstream of the engine. DEF is converted to ammonia
by the heat of the exhaust system. Inside of the SCR canister a catalyst causes a chemical reaction to occur between the
ammonia and NOx, turning it into water and nitrogen. For more information on the specific details of how SCR works,
please contact your local Peterbilt dealer.
With all relocating procedures, general clearances and routing guidelines must be followed. See section 10 of this manual
for general routing guidelines.
When relocating the components the maximum pressure DEF hose length, from Supply module to Dosing Module, is 5.5
meters (216.5").
Maintain a minimum of 3" clearance to shielded exhaust components when routing DEF lines to prevent possible melting.
If the DEF tank is relocated the coolant lines will need to be modified. During this process if the tank is moved forward on
the chassis (closer to the engine) it is necessary to remove excess coolant lines and maintain the original routing path. If
the tank is moved rearward on the chassis the additional length of cooling line required to complete the installation must
be installed in a straight section of the existing coolant routing lines. This process minimizes the change in coolant flow by
mitigating changes in restrictions. Changes in restriction are added with excessive line length and bends. Work with your
local Peterbilt dealer if you are unsure about the coolant line modifications.

DEFINITIONS
Bundle: Two or more air, electrical, fuel, or other lines tied together to form a unitized assembly.
Clamp: A cushioned rigid or semi-rigid, anti-chafing device for containing the bundle and securing it to the frame or other
structural support. Standard clamps have a black elastomer lining. High temperature clamps (e.g., those used with com-
pressor discharge hose) have a white or red elastomer lining (most applications for these are called out in the bills of
material). An assembly of two clamps fastened together to separate components is referred to as a “butterfly” clamp.
Note: the metal portion of clamps shall be stainless steel or otherwise made capable, through plating or other means, of
passing a 200 hour salt spray test per ASTM B117 without rusting.
Butterfly Tie: A tough plastic (nylon or equivalent) locking dual clamp tie strap used to separate bundles or single lines,
hoses, etc. These straps must be UV stable. (Tyton DCT11)
Tie Strap: A tough plastic (nylon, or equivalent) locking strap used to tie the lines in a bundle together between clamps or
to otherwise secure hoses and wires as noted below. These straps must be UV stable.
NOTE: Heavy duty tie straps 0.50in (12.7mm) wide (Tyton T255ROHIR or similar) shall be used whenever HD
mounts are specified, although 0.25in (6.4mm) tie straps may be used in some specified applications.
Excess of material: More than 3 inches of slack for every 14 inch section of hose routing, except for air conditioner
hoses.
Shortness of material: Less than 1 inch of slack on a 14 inch section of hose routing.
ROUTING REQUIREMENTS
Electrical Wiring
• Electrical ground wire terminals must be securely attached and the complete terminal surface must contact a
clean bare metal surface. See R414-558 for grounding wire connection practice. Apply electrical contact corrosion
inhibitor Nyogel 759G grease (made by William F. Nye, Inc., New Bedford, MA) per R414-558.
• Don’t bend wires or use tie straps within 3 inches (75 mm) of (connected) wire connectors or plugs.
• Electrical wiring must be routed so that other components do not interfere with it
• Electrical wiring must be routed away from moving components so that at least 13.0 mm (0.5 in.) of clearance
exists when the component is in operation and at maximum limits of the component’s travel
• Electrical wiring must be protected in the locations they are routed
• Electrical wiring must be routed to avoid heat sources
• Electrical wiring must be secured to a crossmember when going from one frame rail to the other
• When crossing other components, electrical wiring must have a covering of convoluted tubing, PSA tape, or must
be separated from the component with a standoff or butterfly clamp
• Electrical wiring must not be routed directly over a sharp edge unless separated from the edge by a clip, standoff
bracket, or similar spacing feature that prevents any risk of chafing or cutting
o Alternatively, the installation of windlace applied to the edge along with PSA tape or convoluted tubing on
the harness is acceptable
• Electrical wiring must be routed in a way that will not place strain on connectors.
Exceptions:
Battery cables (including jump start cables) may be bundled with or tied to the charging wire harness. They shall
not be bundled with or tied directly to any other components, including hoses, wires, or bundles. They shall be
separated from other routed components using butterfly ties at intervals not exceeding 14 inches (356 mm).
Battery strap (W84-1000) tie down shall be used without exception to secure battery cables to frame mounted or
other major component (e.g. engine, transmission, etc.) mounted standoffs at intervals not exceeding 14 inches
(356 mm). The (positive) battery cable shall be covered with convoluted plastic tubing from terminal to terminal.
110/220 volt wires for engine heaters, oil pan heaters, transmission oil heaters and battery pad warmers, shall not
be included in any hose/wire bundle with a fuel hose. Individual heater wires not in a bundle shall be separated
from other components by using butterfly clamps or butterfly ties at intervals not exceeding 14 inches (356 mm).
Heater wires with a secondary covering shall be covered with convoluted tubing whether they are in bundles or
not.
Piping
Use no street elbows in air brake, water, fuel, or hydraulic systems unless specified on the piping diagram and the build
instructions.
Use no elbows in the air brake system unless specified on the air piping diagram and the build instructions.
Bundles
HD mount and tie strap, or clamp shall be located at intervals not to exceed 14 inches (356 mm) along the bundle.
Regular tie straps shall be located at intervals not to exceed 7 inches (178 mm) between HD mount or clamps. Extra tie
straps may be used as needed to contain the hoses and wires in the bundle.
A minimum clearance of 1.0 inches (25.4) shall be maintained between steering axle tires (and associated rotating parts)
in all positions and routed components, such as hoses, oil lines, wires, pipes, etc.
