Diagnostic Test
- 1) DTC IS ACTIVE
Ignition on, engine not running.
With the scan tool, Clear DTCs in the Gateway.
Press and release the clutch pedal several times.
With the scan tool, select View DTCs.
Is the status Active for this DTC?
Yes
- Go To 2).
No
- Refer to the INTERMITTENT CONDITION diagnostic procedure.
- Perform the GATEWAY VERIFICATION TEST - VER. 1. (Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE - GATEWAY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1)
- 2) (T141) CLUTCH INTERLOCK SWITCH SIGNAL CIRCUIT VOLTAGE
Turn the ignition off.
Disconnect the Clutch Interlock Switch connector.
Turn the ignition on.
Measure the voltage of the (T141) Clutch Interlock Switch Signal circuit in the Clutch Interlock Switch harness connector.
Is the voltage between 4.5 and 5.5 volts?
Yes
- Go to 3).
No
- Go to 5).
- 3) (Z902) GROUND CIRCUIT OPEN OR HIGH RESISTANCE
Using a 12 volt test light connected to 12 volts, check the (Z902) Ground circuit between the Clutch Interlock Switch harness connector.
NOTE: The test light should be illuminated and bright. Compare the brightness to that of a direct connection to the battery.Is the test light illuminated and bright?
Yes
- Go to 4).
No
- Repair the (Z902) Ground for an open circuit or high resistance.
- Perform the GATEWAY VERIFICATION TEST - VER. 1. (Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE - GATEWAY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1)
- 4) CLUTCH INTERLOCK SWITCH
Turn the ignition off.
Connect a jumper wire between the (Z902) Ground circuit and the (T141) Clutch Interlock Switch Signal circuit in the Clutch Interlock Switch harness connector.
Turn the ignition on.
With the scan tool, monitor the Clutch Interlock status.
NOTE: The scan tool should display the Clutch Interlock status as pressed with the jumper wire in place and not pressed with the jumper wire removed.Does the scan tool display the status as described above?
Yes
- Replace the Clutch Interlock Switch in accordance with the Service Information.
- Perform the GATEWAY VERIFICATION TEST - VER. 1. (Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE - GATEWAY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1)
No
- Go to 9).
- 5) (T141) CLUTCH INTERLOCK SWITCH SIGNAL CIRCUIT SHORTED TO VOLTAGE
Turn the ignition off.
Disconnect the Engine Control Module (ECM) connector.
Remove the ASD Relay.
Connect a jumper wire between cavity 30 and cavity 87 of the ASD Relay Connector.
Turn the ignition on.
Measure the voltage of the (T141) Clutch Interlock Switch Signal circuit in the Clutch Interlock Switch harness connector.
Is there any voltage present?
Yes
- Repair the (T141) Clutch Interlock Switch Signal circuit for a short to voltage.
- Perform the GATEWAY VERIFICATION TEST - VER. 1. (Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE - GATEWAY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1)
No
- Go to 6).
- 6) (T141) CLUTCH INTERLOCK SWITCH SIGNAL CIRCUIT SHORTED TO GROUND
Turn the ignition off.
Measure the resistance between ground and the (T141) Clutch Interlock Switch Signal circuit in the Clutch Interlock Switch harness connector.
Is the resistance above 1000 ohms?
Yes
- Go to 7).
No
- Repair the (T141) Clutch Interlock Switch Signal circuit for a short to ground.
- Perform the GATEWAY VERIFICATION TEST - VER. 1. (Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE - GATEWAY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1)
- 7) (T12) CLUTCH INTERLOCK SWITCH STATUS CIRCUIT OPEN OR HIGH RESISTANCE
Measure the resistance of the (T12) Clutch Interlock Switch Status circuit between the PCM harness connector and the Gateway C2 harness connector.
Is the resistance below 10.0 ohms?
Yes
- Go to 8).
No
- Repair the (T12) Clutch Interlock Switch Status circuit for an open circuit or high resistance.
- Perform the GATEWAY VERIFICATION TEST - VER. 1. (Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE - GATEWAY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1)
- 8) (T141) CLUTCH INTERLOCK SWITCH SIGNAL CIRCUIT OPEN OR HIGH RESISTANCE

Measure the resistance of the (T141) Clutch Interlock Switch Signal circuit between the Gateway C2 harness connector and the Clutch Interlock Switch harness connector.
Is the resistance below 10.0 ohms?
Yes
- Go to 9).
No
- Repair the (T141) Clutch Interlock Switch Signal circuit for an open circuit or high resistance.
- Perform the GATEWAY VERIFICATION TEST - VER. 1. (Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE - GATEWAY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1)
- 9) GATEWAY NOTE: Before Continuing: Disconnect the Gateway harness connectors and check the related wiring terminals for corrosion, damage or terminal push out. Repair as necessary.
Using the schematics as a guide, inspect the wire harness and connectors. Pay particular attention to all Power and Ground circuits.
If there are no possible causes remaining, view repair.
