- With the scan tool, read the active DTCs.
Does the scan tool display: P0830-01-CLUTCH PEDAL SWITCH - GENERAL ELECTRICAL FAILURE as active?
Yes
- Go To 2
No
- Test complete, the condition or conditions that originally set this DTC are not present at this time. Using the wiring diagrams as a guide, check all related splices and connectors for signs of water intrusion, corrosion, pushed out or bent terminals and poor pin fit.
- CHECK THE (T141) CLUTCH INTERLOCK SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN CIRCUIT
- CHECK THE (Z905) GROUND CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN
- Connect a test light between the (T141) Clutch Interlock Signal circuit and the (Z905) Ground circuit in the clutch switch harness connector.
- Be sure the ignition is still on.
Does the test light illuminate brightly?
Yes
