NV 3500 Manual Transmission

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 thee 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.
