MU3 - Manual Transaxle
DTC P0833
Circuit Description
Battery voltage is supplied from the clutch brake fuse to the clutch switch. The clutch switch is a normally closed switch. When the clutch pedal is released, the clutch pedal position switch signal circuit is pulled up to B+. When the clutch pedal is applied, the switch opens, and the voltage drops to 0 volts.
When the powertrain control module (PCM) detects a large number of gear changes without detecting a clutch switch transition, DTC P0833 sets. DTC P0833 is a type C DTC.
DTC Descriptor
This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTC:
DTC P0833 Clutch Pedal Switch 2 Circuit
Conditions for Running the DTC
No vehicle speed sensor (VSS) DTCs P0502 or P0503.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The PCM detects 8 changes in vehicle speed 0-15 km/h (0-10 mph) without the PCM detecting a clutch pedal transition.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
* The PCM does not illuminate the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL).
* The PCM disables cruise control.
* The PCM records the operating conditions when the Conditions for Setting the DTC are met. The PCM stores this information as Failure Records.
* The PCM stores DTC P0833 in PCM history.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
* A scan tool can clear the DTC.
* The PCM clears the DTC from PCM history if the vehicle completes 40 warm-up cycles without a non-emission related diagnostic fault occurring.
* The PCM cancels the DTC default actions when the fault no longer exists and the DTC passes.
Test Description
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.
2. This test confirms if the scan tool is receiving a clutch switch position signal.
3. This step inspects the clutch pedal connector and adjustment.
