Hi, yesterday my PTO won't engage. The computer is tossing error code 5-6. Machine is 2011 997 Ztrak with 560 hrs on it.

If anyone could post this code text, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks in advance,

G

That is a pto output error. I’m very familiar with that one. Probably the pto switch. The stock one was very crappy. If yours has the push/pull type, you might as well replace it with the upgraded rocker switch. I have a thread on in from a couple years back, and there has been allot of discussion on it over the years. The new switch upgrade fixed my problem after 3 push pull switch replacements

Thanks for the code description. I pulled the pto switch and tested it, it tested ok but over the years of people pulling the plunger up too strongly has damaged it. It should be replaced. I made a temporary switch from a 2 pole circuit breaker and tied it in. Upon attending to engage the pto I received the same error code. So it seems the problem is someplace else in the circuit. I don’t have any wiring diagrams so I’m not sure where the wiring is installed to activate the hydraulic pto.

This should get you started down the right path...

Hey, thanks for the download. Its a real big help identifying everything. I found the problem, a cut wire right almost inside the connector ontop leading to the pto. It was not easy to spot, but I spotted it on the second run, reconnected it and the pto engages normally.

Thanks again for the file, i'm sure I'll be needing it again.
