Enable PTO/AUX Input for Vehicles

Enable PTO/AUX Input for Vehicles lets fleets capture accurate activity data from auxiliary equipment. Once configured, these AUX inputs feed directly into Motive’s platform, powering usage reporting, idling classification, and safety or operations workflows.

Overview

  • Per‑vehicle PTO/AUX input control: Fleet Admins can selectively enable AUX inputs (such as PTO or other auxiliary equipment) for individual vehicles, so only relevant assets are tracked.
  • Built‑in signal validation: The feature automatically surfaces detected AUX activity and flags configurations that need confirmation, helping verify wiring and ensure the right input is mapped before data is used.
  • Reliable PTO/AUX data for reporting and alerts: Once confirmed, AUX inputs stream accurate equipment‑usage signals to Motive, powering AUX activity reports, idling classification, and safety or operations alerts.
