P0806



DTC P0806





Circuit Description

The clutch pedal position (CPP) sensor is an input to the engine control module (ECM). The CPP sensor is a potentiometer type sensor with a 5-volt reference signal circuit, a low reference signal circuit and a sensor signal circuit. The ECM supplies the 5-volt reference signal to the CPP sensor.

With the pedal released the CPP sensor signal should read above 4 volts. With the pedal fully depressed the CPP sensor signal should read below 1 volt.

When the ECM detects a stuck CPP sensor, DTC P0806 sets. DTC P0806 is a type A DTC.

DTC Descriptor

This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTC:

DTC P0806 Clutch Position Sensor Circuit Range/Performance

Conditions for Running the DTC

^ No CKP sensor DTCs P0335 or P0336.
^ No VSS DTCs P0502 and P0503.
^ No CPP sensor DTCs P0807, P0808, and P080A.
^ The vehicle is in gear.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The ECM detects a clutch position error greater than 5 percent for greater than 6 seconds.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

^ The ECM illuminates the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL).
^ The ECM records the operating conditions when the Conditions for Setting the DTC are met. The ECM stores this information as Freeze Frame and Failure Records.
^ The ECM stores DTC P0806 in ECM history.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

^ The ECM turns OFF the MIL during the third consecutive trip in which the diagnostic test runs and passes.
^ A scan tool can clear the MIL/DTC.
^ The ECM clears the DTC from ECM history if the vehicle completes 40 warm-up cycles without an emission related diagnostic fault occurring.

Diagnostic Aids

^ Use the J 35616 GM-approved Terminal Test Kit for any test that requires probing the ECM harness connector or any component connector.
^ A malfunctioning or damaged CPP Sensor may cause this DTC to set.
