DTC P0833

Step Action Value(s) Yes No
1 Did you perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle? - Go to Step 2  Go to DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM CHECK - VEHICLE
2 
  1. Install a scan tool.
  2. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
    3. IMPORTANT: Before clearing the DTCs, use the scan tool in order to record the Freeze Frame and Failure Records for reference. The Clear Info function will erase the data.
  3. Use the scan tool to monitor the clutch pedal position switch parameter.
  4. Apply and release the clutch pedal several times.
Does the scan tool indicate a change in state when the clutch pedal is either applied or released?		 - Go to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections Go to Step 3 
3  Inspect the adjustment of the clutch pedal position switch and the connector. Refer to Clutch Pedal Position Switch Adjustment (New Pedal) or Clutch Pedal Position Switch Adjustment (Old Pedal) .
Does the clutch switch require adjustment or the connector require service?		 - Go to Step 11  Go to Step 4 
4 Inspect the Clutch/Brake fuse for an open. Refer to Circuit Protection - Fuses .
Is the Clutch/Brake fuse open?		 - Go to Step 9  Go to Step 5 
5 Using a DMM, measure voltage at the brake fuse.
Does the DMM indicate the specified value?		 B+ Go to Step 6  Go to Step 12

  1. Turn OFF the ignition.
  2. Disconnect the clutch pedal position switch connector.
  3. Using a DMM, measure the voltage at the ignition 1 voltage circuit at the switch connector.
Does the DMM indicate the specified value?		 B+ Go to Step 7  Go to Step 13

Is the ignition 1 voltage circuit grounded?		 - Go to Step 13  Go to Step 10 
10 Using a DMM, test for a short to ground on the clutch pedal position switch signal circuit at the switch connector.
Is the clutch pedal position switch signal circuit grounded?		 - Go to Step 14  Go to Step 15 
11 Adjust the clutch pedal position switch or repair the connector as necessary.
Did you complete the repair?		 - Go to Step 17  -
12 Repair the power distribution circuit to the brake fuse.
Did you complete the repair?		 - Go to Step 17  -
13 Repair the open, high resistance or short to ground in the ignition 1 voltage circuit or a parallel circuit that uses the brake fuse.
Did you complete the repair?		 - Go to Step 17  -
14 Repair the open, high resistance, short to ground, or short to voltage in the clutch pedal position switch signal circuit.
Did you complete the repair?		 - Go to Step 17  -
15 Replace the clutch pedal position switch. Refer to Clutch Pedal Position Switch Replacement .
Is the action complete?		 - Go to Step 17  -
16 Replace the PCM. Refer to Control Module References for replacement, setup, and programming.
