P0830 - CLUTCH PEDAL SWITCH A CIRCUIT

Description:  The powertrain control module (PCM) monitors the clutch pedal position bottom of travel (CPP-BT) switch only during the calibrated engine speed range (cranking speed range). This DTC is set when the CPP-BT switch does not indicate that the clutch is disengaged (clutch pedal pressed) when the engine is cranked.
Possible Causes: 
  • Damaged CPP-BT switch
  • Damaged CPP-BT harness
  • Open PWRGND circuit to the CPP-BT switch
  • Vehicle push-started with the clutch engaged (clutch pedal released)
  • Aftermarket remote starting device
Diagnostic Aids:  Verify that the vehicle was not push-started with the clutch engaged. Check for aftermarket equipment such as remote starting devices which may bypass the clutch pedal position switch when cranking the engine.
