DTC P0833





Circuit Description
Battery voltage is supplied from the 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.
If the powertrain control module (PCM) detects a specified number of vehicle speed transitions 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 vehicle speed sensor (VSS) DTC P0500.

Conditions for Setting the DTC
The PCM detects 7 changes in vehicle speed from 0 km/h (0 mph) to above 38 km/h (24 mph) and then back to 0 km/h (0 mph) without the PCM detecting a clutch pedal transition.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets
^ The PCM illuminates the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) during the second consecutive trip in which the Conditions for Setting the DTC are met.
^ The PCM disables cruise control and the power take-off, if equipped.
^ The PCM records the operating conditions when the Conditions for Setting the DTC are met. The PCM records this information as Freeze Frame and Failure Records.
^ The PCM stores DTC P0833 in PCM history during the second consecutive trip in which the Conditions for Setting the DTC are met.

Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
^ The PCM 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 PCM clears the DTC from PCM history if the vehicle completes 40 warm-up cycles without an emission related diagnostic fault occurring.
^ The PCM cancels the DTC default actions when the ignition switch is OFF long enough in order to power down the PCM.

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.
