SAFETY AND COMPLIANCE
FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARDS AND COMPLIANCE
As an Original Equipment Manufacturer, Peterbilt Motors Company ensures that our products comply with all applicable
U.S. or Canadian Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards. However, the fact that this vehicle has no fifth wheel and that a
Body Builder (Intermediate or Final Stag e Manufacturer) will be doing additional modifications means that the vehicle was
incomplete when it left the build plant.
INCOMPLETE VEHICLE CERTIFICATION
An Incomplete Vehicle Document is shipped with the vehicle, certifying that the vehicle is not complete. See Figure 2–1.
In addition, affixed to the driver’s side door frame or edge is an Incomplete Vehicle Certificati on la bel. See Figure 2–2.
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 complianc e wit h the particu lar
regulations upon completion of the modifications.

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 Sta ge 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).”
Peterbilt Motors Company 2-2

SAFETY AND COMPLIANCE
However, if the vehicle cannot be completed and certified with in the guidance provided in the IVD, the final stage
manufacturer must ensure the vehicle conforms to all applicable Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS). The
final stage manufactures certification label would need a statement that reads, “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 1-800-441NTEA for a copy of the final rule (DocID 101760).

NOISE AND EMISSIONS REQUIREMENTS
NOTE
This truck may be equipped with specific emissions control components/systems in order to
meet applicable Federal and California noise and exhaust emissions requirements. Tampering
with these emissions control components/systems is against the rules that are established by the
U.S Code of Federal Regulations, Environment Canada Regul ati ons a nd California Air Resources
Board (CARB). These emissions control c omponents/ systems may only be replaced with origin al
equipment parts.
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 s ha pe and aer odynamic 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
• 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 variances from the
relocation requirements may cause the emissions control components/systems to operate improperly potentially resulting
in engine de-rate.

SAFETY AND COMPLIANCE
NOTE
To ensure compliance to emissions regulations, the final configuration of certain features of the completed vehiclemust
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.
All 2017 engine emissions certified vehicles will be equipped with an On-Board
Diagnostics (OBD) system. The OBD system is desig ned to d etect m alfunctions of any
engine or vehicle component that may increase exhaust em issions 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 sys tem consists of computer program on o ne or more of t he 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.
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.

SAFETY AND COMPLIANCE
• Allow sufficient clearance for removing sensors from DPF. Thermistors require four inches. Other
sensors require one inch
• Wiring should be routed, protected from heat, and properly secured to prevent damage
from other components
• The exhaust system from an auxiliary power unit (APU) must not be connected to any part of the
vehicle after-treatment system or vehicle tail pipe.
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
AIR INTAKE SYSTEM
The following are highlights of some of the more common or critical aspects of this system.
• The air intake screen may not be blocked, either fully or partially
• Modification to the air intake system may not restrict airflow. For example, pipe diameter may not be reduced
• All sensors must be retained in existing locations
• To retain system seal, proper clamp torque must be used. Refer to service manual for proper clamp torque
CHARGE AIR COOLER SYSTEM
The following are highlights of some of the more common or critical aspects of this system.
• The Charge Air Cooler may not be modified
• The installation of engine overspeed shutdown devices must not introduce restriction in the intake system
• All plumbing associated with the charge air cooler may not be modified
Peterbilt Motors Company 2-6

SAFETY AND COMPLIANCE
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
The following are highlights of some of the more common or critical aspects of this system.
• Electr ic al harnes ses providing battery power and electronic control signals to engine and emissions
control/ vehicle OBD components including datalinks may not be spliced. These emissions
control/vehicle OBD components include the following:
• throttle pedal
• vehicle speed sensor
• after-treatment wiring
• 9-pin OBD Connector
• CAN Communication / OBD Diagnostic wiring
• If the alternator or battery is substituted, it must meet the requirements of the engine manufacture’s
guidelines. This includes alternator ground voltage drop and alternator ground cable effectiveness.
See the engine manufacture’s guidelines for recommended test procedure. Additionally the
maximum voltage differential and the peak-peak voltage differential between the engine ECM block
ground stud and battery negative terminal may not exceed 500 mV under any combination of loads
or operating conditions.
• Only an OBD compliant battery disconnect switch may be installed on vehicles equipped EPA 2013
and beyond compliant diesel engines. An OBD compliant switch and harness, even in the off position,
supply a small amount of power to the engine controller and enable certain emissions critical
functions (e.g. DEF line purge). Any modifications to the electrical system which interrupt this power
supply will cause OBD fault codes and illumination of the MIL. In addition, such a modification will
render the engine non-compliant with certain emission regulations. As a general rule of thumb, you
can remove and replace a battery disconnect switch on a truck equipped with a battery disconnect
switch at the factory. However, if a battery disconnect switch was not installed in the factory a
significant harness modification is required before a battery disconnect switch can be added.
• Installation of aftermarket transfer-cases must address the vehicle speed sensor position. The
standard position of the speed sensor is at the transmission tail shaft. When a transfer-case is added
it is best to relocate the sensor to the axle side output shaft of the transfer-case. This is typically
accomplished by adding a tone wheel into the driveline yoke assembly.
• Wiring extensions for the after-treatment wiring are available for relocating the DEF tank from your
dealer via Paccar Parts. For relocation of DEF tank, refer to the after-treatment section of this
manual.
• The OBD/Diagnostic connector port is located below the dash to the left of the steering wheel. This
connector and its location may not be changed.

BODY MOUNTING
CRITICAL CLEARANCES
REAR TIRES AND CAB
CAUTION: Insufficient clearance between rear tires and body structure could cause damage to the body during
suspension movement.
Normal suspension m ovement could cause contact b etween the tires and the body. To prevent this, m ount the body so
that the minimum clearance betwee n the top of the t ire and the bottom of the bod y is 8 inches (20 3 mm). This shou ld 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.

BODY MOUNTING
BODY MOUNTING USING BRACKETS
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). Thes e materials will n ot undergo larg e dimensional cha nges during per iods of high or lo w humidity. The
strip will be less likely to fall out during extreme relative motion between body and chas sis . See FIGURE 4-3.

BODY MOUNTING
BRACKETS
When mounting a bod y to the chassis with brac kets, we recom mend designs that of fer limited relativ e movement, bolted
securely but not too rigid. Brac kets should allow for slight movem ent between the body and the chassis . For instance,
FIGURE 4-4 shows a high compression spring betwee n the bolt a nd the brac ket and FIGURE 4-5 shows a r ubber s pacer
between the brackets. These designs will allow relative movement between the body and the chassis during extreme
frame racking situatio ns. Mount ings th at are to o rigid c ould caus e dam age to the bod y. T his is partic ularl y true with t ank er
installations.
When installing brac kets on the fr ame rails, the mount ing holes in the chas sis frame br acket and fram e rail must compl y
with the general spacing and location guidelines illustrated in FIGURE 4-6.

BODY MOUNTING
FRAME DRILLING
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.
FIGURE 4-8. Frame Rail Flange Drilling Prohibited
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 appropriat e 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).

BODY MOUNTING
BODY MOUNTING USING U–BOLTS
If the body is mounted to the frame with U–bolts, use a hardwood sill (m inimum 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 f lange and the U–bolt to prevent the U–bolt from notching the fr ame 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

SECTION 5 FRAME MODIFICATIONS
INTRODUCTION
Peterbilt offers cus tomer specified wheelbases and f rame overhangs. So, in most cas es frame modifications should not
be necessary.
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 applicat ion. The modifications may be as simple as m odifying the frame cutoff, or as c om plex as modifying the
wheelbase.
DRILLING RAILS
If frame holes need to be drilled in the rail, see SECTION 4 BODY MOUNTING for more information.
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 new holes any closer than 2 inches (50mm) to existing holes. Frame
drilling affects the strength of the rails. If the holes are too close together, the rail could fail
prematurely and cause an accident.
CAUTION: Use care when drilling the frame web so the wires and air lines routed inside the rail are
not damaged.
•
Never use a torch to make a hole in the rail. Use the appropriate diameter drill bit.

FRAME MODIFICATIONS
MODIFYING FRAME LENGTH
The frame overhang af t er t he r ear axle can be shorte n ed to match a
particular body length. Us ing a torch is acceptable; however, heat
from a torch will af fect the mater ial characteristics of t he frame rail.
The affected material will normally be confined to within 1 to 2
inches (25 to 50mm) of the flam e cut and may not adversely affec t
the strength of the chassis or body installation.
CHANGING WHEELBASE
Changing a chassis’ wheel base is not recomm ended. 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.
WARNING! When changing the wheelbase, be sure
to follow the driveline manufacturer’s
recommendations for driveline length or angle
changes. Incorrectly modified drivelines can fail
prematurely due to excessive vibration. This can
cause an accident and severe personal injury.
Before changing the wheelbase, the driveline angles of the
proposed wheelbase need to be examined to ensure no harmful
vibrations are created. Consult with the driveline manufacturer for
appropriate recommendations.
Before the rear suspensio n is relocated, check the new location of
the spring hanger brackets. The new holes for the spring hanger
brackets must not ov erlap existing holes and shou ld adhere to the
guidelines in the “FRAME DRILLING” section of this manual.
When shortening the wheelbase, the suspension should be moved
forward and relocated on the original rail. The rail behind the
suspension can then be cu t to achieve the desire d fram e overhang.
See FIGURE 5-1.

CROSSMEMBERS
After lengthening a wheelbase, an addition al crossmem ber may be required to m aintain the original fram e strength. The
maximum allowable distan ce between the forward suspensio n crossmember and the next cr ossmember forward is 47.2
inches (1200 mm). If the dis tanc e ex ceeds 47.2 i nc he s ( 1200 mm ) af ter the whee lbas e is le ngt hen ed, ad d a c r ossmember

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.

PRECAUTIONS
CAUTION:
CAUTION:
CAUTION:
WELDING PRECAUTIONS: ALL ELECTRONIC ENGINES
Before welding, disconnect the negative terminal battery cable.
Before welding, disconnect the alternator terminals. Failure to do so could result in damage to
the voltage regulator and/or alternator.
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.
Before welding on vehicles with electronic engines, the following precautions should be observed.
1. Disconnect all electrical connections to the vehicle batteries.
2. Disconnect all ECM connectors.
3. Do no use the ECM or engine ground stud for the ground of the welding probe.
4. Ensure that the ground connection for the welder is as close to the weld point as possible. This ensures
maximum weld current and minimum risk to damage electrical components on the vehicle.
5. Turn off key.
NOTE:
Bosch ABS and Wabco ABS: Disconnect ECU.

SECTION 6 ELECTRICAL
INTRODUCTION
This section has been designated to provide information to the body builder when installing equipment into vehicles built
with Multiplexed instrumentation. The technology presented will show multiple access points for direct integration over
body builder components. This section is intended to address how to work in aftermarket equipment while still maintaining
full functionality of the OEM vehicle.
MULTIPLEX INSTRUMENTATION
Peterbilt utilizes Multiplex instrumentation and wiring to continuously improve our quality and the capability of our trucks.
Multiplexing utilizes the industry standard Society of Automotive Engineering (SAE) J1939 data bus to send multiple
signals over a single twisted pair of wires instead of individual wires for each function. The advantages are fewer wires,
sensors, and connections that provide greater consistency, improved reliability and the ability to use ESA to troubleshoot
the instrumentation. The following information is provided to increase your awareness about the Peterbilt product, it may
be useful in installing telltales (warning lights) and gauges and coordination with other installed equipment. Data Bus
.
connector can be accessed on the LH side rear of engine
WARNING!
Don’t cut or tap into green/yellow twisted pairs. Only use approved J1939 components and
connectors with validated software.

ELECTRICAL
DATA BUS COMMUNICATION
The multiplexed instrumentation system uses several different data links to transmit input/output data from other systems
to the Cab Electronic Control Unit (CECU), and ultimately to the Central Instrument Cluster and CVSG Gauges
.
• V-CAN = Vehicle Controller Area Network
The V-CAN, also referred to as the J1939, is used to transmit data between the transmission,
ABS system, engine, etc. to the Cab Electronic Control Unit (CECU)
• I-CAN = Instrumentation Controller Area Net wor k
The I-CAN provides data link communication from the Cab Electronic Control Unit (CECU) to the
Central Instrument Cluster
• CVSG Bu s
The CVSG bus is a private data bus used to transmit data from the Cab Electronic Control Unit (CECU) to
the individual 2-inch gauges. A series of “daisy chained” jumper harnesses link each gauge to another.
CAB ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNIT (CECU) AND OTHER ELECTRICAL MODULES
The heart of the multiplexed instrumentation system is the Cab Electronic Control Unit (CECU). The CECU is located
behind the center console. See Figure 6-5
.
FIGURE 6-5. CECU Location and Other Electrical Modules
Vehicle component inputs are sent to the CECU through the J1939 data bus or conventional wiring. The CECU interprets
the various inputs and monitors/controls the functions for each input through the CECU software. Output signals from the
CECU provide data for the gauges, warning lamps, audible alarms, and displays inside the cluster.
Peterbilt Motors Company 6-4

ELECTRICAL
CENTRAL INSTRUMENT PANEL
The central instrument panel includes the speedometer (including odometer and trip meter) and tachometer (including
engine hour meter and outside temperature display), plus a Driver Warning and Indicator Module (DWIM) pre-installed
standard and/or editable warning light symbols called “telltale” cards. Each “telltale” card slides into the left and right sides
of the Driver Warning and Indicator Module (DWIM) from the bottom. The standard cards cover most warning light
requirements; editable cards can be used for less common components that also require warning lights. The central
instrument cluster receives input data from the CECU via the “I-CAN” data bus. When the ignition key is first turned ON,
the cluster will perform a calibration “power on self-test”. The instrument panel is
installed with two screws.
FIGURE 6-6. Main Instrument Panel
CVSG GAUGES
The 2” gauges located to the left and right of the main instrument panel are commonly referred to as Commercial Vehicle
Smart Gauges (CVSG). Like the central instrument cluster, the 2-inch gauges also receive input data directly from the
CECU. CVSG’s are two types, electronic and mechanical. The electronic CVSG’s receive digital data from the CECU via
the CVSG data bus. The mechanical gauges (i.e. suspension air pressure, etc.) are driven directly from the air pressure.
Both types of gauges receive backlighting signals from the CECU via a 4-wire “daisy chained” jumper harness that links
.
one gauge to another
When the ignition key is first turned ON, all the electronic 2-inch gauges will perform a calibration “power on self-test”.
Note:
The mechanical CVSG do not perform a power on self-test

POWER ON SELF-TEST
• Ignition key turned ON
• The gauge pointers move from pointing at zero, counter-clockwise to their mechanical limit (approx. -5°), stay
there for one second and go back to pointing at zero
• At the same time, all telltales in DWIM and main gauges are switched on together, and then switched off
together
Additional CVSG gauge information body builders should be aware of:
• The CECU sends gauge information to CVSGs over a data link (blue wire) between the CECU and the
gauge (called CVSG bus)
• CVSG gauges get their power from the CECU
• Yellow = Power w ire (9-16 volts)
• follows:
Pin # Color Function
1 Blue
2 Brown
3 White
4 Yellow
• Backlighting level for CVSG electronic gauges is sent from the CECU to the gauges via the data link (blue
wire).
• Optional CVSG mechanical gauges (i.e. air suspension) are driven mec hanically with air pressure hosed to
the fitting behind the gauge. There is no red warning lamp and the backlighting is powered through the brown
wire from the CECU (a pulse-width modulated signal)
circuits through the gauge to the next gauge in the chain
• Gauges can be relocated to any 2-inch open gauge position in the dash
connector at the back and move it to the desired position. Plug the jumper wire in. (See “Accessing Gauges
and Switches section below for instructions on physically moving the gauge). The connector will require a
firm pull to remove it. When reinstalling the connector ensure that it is fully inserted. Both connector sockets
on the rear of the gauge are the same, either one can be used

ACCESSING GAUGES, SWITCHES AND FUSES
In order to access and install components described later on in the manual, you will need to know how to correctly remove
the dash panels without causing damage.

TELLTALE SYMBOLS
Peterbilt’s interior allows Body Builders to customize the dash telltale symbols (warning lights). The editable telltale
symbols are located on removable cards inside the baseline cluster. This section will describe how to replace and insert
editable cards, as well as how to activate the telltale lights.
Note the numbers 1 – 12 on Figure 6-12. These are how the positions are identified in Table 6-1 and on the instrument
panel harness breakouts for the “editable” telltales behind the right hand cluster.
To remove the editable cards follow steps 1-3 in the instructions for accessing gauges and switches
. The access cards have a positive lock. To remove the card push inwards on the lock with your thumb and pull the card
out with pliers. Figure 6-12 below details the cards. To reinstall a card slide it in either by hand or with pliers.

SECTION 7 POWER TAKE-OFF (PTO)
INTRODUCTION
A Power Take Off (PTO) provides a way to divert some or all of the trucks engine po wer to another component. T here
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. Figures 7-2 through 7-9 show all of the manual and automated
transmissions available for Medium Duty. Reference Table 7-1 for transmission availability with the Peterbilt Medium Duty
models. For mor e information go to www.roadranger .com and enter “PTO Installation Guid e” in the search bar in the

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS
On Allison transm issions th ere are t wo l ocations for PT O’s. T he Allison 400 0 ser ies has PT O locatio ns at 1 and 8 o’c lock
viewed from the back of the transmission. See Figure 7-10. The 4000H S and 3000HS transmissions do not have a ny
PTO locations. The 3000 series Allison transmissions have PTO locations at 4 and 8 o’clock ( Figure 7-11). 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 cleara nce issues with other components on t he truck. W ith manual transmiss ions, a
6-bolt PTO on the righ t will typicall y clear m ost com ponents when the DPF and S CR are und er the cab . Thi s is also tr ue
when 30 and 45 degree adapters are used. The 8-bolt bottom mount PTO will not have any issues unless you are
running a driveshaf t back to another com ponent and the truc k has a cross over style exhaust. In this case, the D PF and
SCR would block any routing f or the driveshaft. If a wet kit is used in this scenario ther e is enough room to mount the
PTO and the h ydraulic pum p without interfering with the exhaust. On Allison 4000 series transmis sions, most PT O’s will
fit in the 1 o’clock position without in terfering with the cab. If a wet k it is used here, the dipstick housing will most likely
need to be modif ied as it r uns o ver the to p of the t ransm ission to the driv er side of the ve hicle. T he PTO in the 8 o’clock
position is typicall y ok. The same issue with cros sover exhaust would apply her e as well. There are some scenar ios
where the PTO will be very c lose to or c ould inter fere with the rear s pring shack le on the front sus pension. This problem
can occur on vehicles with a set-back front axle and the problem is amplified on the short hood models.

PTO INSTALLATIONS
STANDARD PTO OPERATION
Cab PTO switch can be setup by the operator to a pre-programmed engine set speed(s) and the engine speed can be
ramped up and down with the set/resume switch. To control the PTO there are various dash switches that we offer.
Standard with every vehicle is the Cruise Control/PTO on off switch and the Set/Resume switch. There are also several
additional PTO control switches that can be used. The PTO control switch will be plumbed with air lines that will be
plugged at the firewall bulkhead. See Section 6 for PTO dash switch plumbing and firewall bulkhead locations. On
PACCAR engines, when the cruise control switch is activated and all parameters set in the ECM for PTO mode are met,
the engine will go into PTO mode. In this mode, the engine will respond to all PTO mode parameters that have been
programmed into the software. These parameters can be changed with INSITE on all PACCAR engines. There is a PTO
light on the dash that should be wired to the PTO to inform the operator when the PTO has engaged or disengaged. This
should be wired to the PTO output, not just a dash switch or PTO enable circuit. The wire can be found in the right hand
rail in the area of the transmission. The wire is labeled WHT1513 PTO Circuit.
ALlISON TRANSMISSION PTO
The PTO’s will require an electric signal. We do not currently offer an electric PTO switch for the medium duty 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 ENABLE RELAY CONNECTION WITH ALLISON TRANSMISSION
A 3-wire pigtail is available in Allison chassis harness. The connector is labeled “J105-PTO Enable” and the pigtail is
connected to the PTO Enable Relay. The relay is energized by an output from the TCM (PTO Enable Output, AT130). The
PTO Enable Input to TCM is J109 – PTO (AT143) which requires 12V+. When relay is energized, pins B & C are
“connected”. When relay is not energized, pins B & A are “connected”.
RANGE INDICATOR RELAY CONNECTI ON WITH AN ALLISON TRANSMISSION
A 3-wire pigtail is always available in Allison chassis harness. The connector is labeled “J104-Range Indicator” and the
pigtail is connected to the Range Indicator Relay. The relay is energized by an output from the TCM (for Neutral Indicator)
When relay is energized, pins C & B are “connected”. When relay is not energized, pins C & A are “connected”.

SECTION 8 AFTERTREAMENT
INTRODUCTION
The following section is designed to give you information regarding the aftertreatment systems on Peterbilt chassis.
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.
DEF SYSTEM SCHEMATIC
On most Peterbilt chassis the DEF Supply Module (or pump) is integrated into the DEF tank. Peterbilt does not allow
relocation of this pump. The following schematic details how the DEF lines route to the after-treatment system.
FIGURE 8-1. DEF System Schematic

FUEL VOLUME ALLOWED (USABLE GALLONS)
Ratio (1:1), No Derates
EXHAUST & AFTERTREATMENT
DEF will freeze at approximately 11° F. In order to keep DEF from freezing all tanks will be heated with engine coolant.
The following schematic shows the routing of these lines. It is critical that the system is not compromised in any manner.
Below, numbers denote the order of the component in the flow.
FIGURE 8-2. DEF Coolant Routing Schematic
GENERAL GUIDELINES FOR DEF SYSTEM
The installation of the DEF tank is a critical component of the aftertreatment system. While Peterbilt does not
recommend relocating the DEF tank, there are applications and body installations that will require it. The
guidelines below must be strictly followed by any entity relocating the tank. Failure to follow the guidelines
completely and accurately may result in engine shut-down situations.
PACCAR-approved DEF hoses are required when retrofitting for system to function properly. The use of
unapproved hoses for DEF line s will void warranty and may cause engine shut-down situations. The DEF pump
(or Supply Module) cannot be relocated from the DEF tank.
Peterbilt offers a variety of DEF tank sizes to meet every application. The DEF tank volume is regulated by the
E.P.A. Peterbilt advises against modifying the tank volume after the truck has been delivered from the factory.
These are estimated nominal (published) maximum fuel capacities for various DEF tanks, engines, and fill ratios.
Dosing rates for these calculations are also shown.
INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS AND DIMENSIONS FOR DEF SYSTEM
When relocating any DEF system components, the locations must meet the guidelines below. Failure to comply may
result in non-conformance to EPA standards and engine shutdown.
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.
ROUTING TO THE DOSING MODULE (INJECTOR)
A DEF pressure line “trap” is no longer required after EPA 2013 emissions level engine. The dosing module (injector) no
longer needs to be purged and relative heights of components are no longer critical. See Figure 8-3 below for typical
routing with RHUC exhaust and LH DEF tank shown. Figure below shows a typical coolant line routing.

EXHAUST & AFTERTREATMENT
DEF SUPPLY MODULE MOUNTING REQUIREMENTS
The Supply Module (or Pump) standard mounting location is on the DEF tank assembly. Body builders may need to
relocate this component, and should follow the location and length restrictions above. Additionally the mounting and the
orientation of the Supply Module must not exceed 45° from vertical in any direction.
