In a Ford Transit, the code P251A indicates that the circuit for the power take-off enable switch is open. The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) is responsible for monitoring this switch circuit. The PCM triggers the OBDII code when the PTO enable switch deviates from the manufacturer's specifications. Power take-offs (PTOs) are mechanical devices that connect to openings on truck transmissions to transfer the engine power to auxiliary components, such as a hydraulic pump. By harnessing energy that would otherwise go unused, PTOs enable various essential functions like towing heavier loads that would not be feasible without their assistance.
How can I fix this issue?

How do I disable the yellow dashboard indicator light?
Can you please explain what the power take-off activation switch is? Thank you.
The car won't start, and the engine light came on.
