P0833
DTC P0833
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 B DTC.
DTC Descriptor
This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTC:
DTC P0833 Clutch Pedal Switch 2 Circuit
Conditions for Running the DTC
* No VSS DTCs P0502 or P0503.
* The vehicle speed is greater than 15 km/h (9 mph).
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 illuminates the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) during the second consecutive trip in which the Conditions for Setting the DTC are met.
* The ECM disables Cruise Control.
* 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 P0833 in ECM History during the second consecutive trip in which the Conditions for Setting the DTC are met.
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
* The ECM turns OFF the MIL during the third consecutive trip in which the diagnostic 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.
* The ECM cancels the DTC default actions when the ignition switch is OFF long enough in order to power down the ECM.
Test Description
The number below refers to the step number 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.
