DTC P0833

Test 1-10:

Test 11-18:

Circuit Description
The clutch switch is a normally closed switch, clutch pedal released. The Engine Control Module (ECM) detects an ignition voltage on the clutch switch circuit when the clutch switch is closed. The ECM detects 0 volts on the clutch switch circuit when the clutch switch is open, clutch pedal depressed.

When the ECM detects a large number of gear changes without detecting a clutch switch transition, DTC P0833 sets. DTC P0833 is a type C DTC.

Conditions for Running the DTC
^ No VSS DTCs.
^ The vehicle speed is greater than 15 km/h (9 mph).
^ The brake switch remains released.

Conditions for Setting the DTC
^ The ECM must detect 20 or more gear changes with less than 6 clutch pedal transitions.
^ Time between gear changes must be 4 seconds or greater.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets
^ The ECM stores the DTC information into memory when the diagnostic runs and fails.
^ The Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) will not illuminate.
^ The ECM records the operating conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. The ECM stores this information in the Failure Records.

Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
^ The ECM turns OFF the SVS lamp when the condition no longer exists.
^ A scan tool can clear the DTC.
^ The ECM clears the DTC from ECM history if the vehicle completes 40 warm-up cycles without a non-emission-related diagnostic fault occurring.
^ The ECM cancels the DTC default actions when the fault no longer exists and the DTC passes.

Test Description
