1. 1

   Verify that fault code ARM 1039 is currently active at the armrest controller

1. 1

   Inspect Wiring

   Inspect the wiring harness and electrical connector at the PTO switch console on the armrest. Look for backed-out pins, corrosion, or wire chafing.

2. 2

   Remove the Switch

   If the wiring is intact but the switch state fails to change on the diagnostic monitor, carefully pry or unbolt the PTO switch console from the armrest assembly.

3. 3

   Replace the Switch

   Disconnect the faulty PTO switch and plug the wiring harness into the new OEM replacement switch.

4. 4

   Reassemble and Clear Codes

   Snap the switch back into the armrest console. Use your service tool to clear the ARM 1039 fault code.

5. 5

   Verify Operation

   Cycle the tractor key, engage the PTO switch, and verify that the PTO engages properly without the code returning.
