Pinpoint Test E: DTC P0833 - Clutch Pedal Switch B Circuit

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Ford Pickup, 2005 Ford F550 Super Duty, 2005 Ford F450 Super Duty, and 2005 Ford Cab & Chassis. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

E1 CHECK THE CLUTCH PEDAL POSITION (CPP) SWITCH
- Key in OFF position.
- Disconnect: Powertrain Control Module (PCM) C175b.
- While pressing and releasing the clutch pedal, measure the resistance between the PCM C175b-32, circuit 306 (TN/LB), harness side and ground.

- Is the resistance greater than 10,000 ohms with the clutch pedal pressed, and less than 5 ohms with the clutch pedal released?
- Yes : Go to E5.
- No : GO to E2.
E2 CHECK CIRCUIT 306 (TN/LB) FOR AN OPEN
- Disconnect: Clutch Pedal Position (CPP) Switch C277.
- Measure the resistance between the PCM C175b-32, circuit 306 (TN/LB), harness side and the CPP switch C277-4, circuit 306 (TN/LB), harness side.

- Is the resistance less than 5 ohms?
- Yes : GO to E3.
- No : REPAIR the circuit. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.
E3 CHECK CIRCUIT 570 (BK/WH) FOR AN OPEN
- Measure the resistance between the CCP switch C277-3, circuit 570 (BK/WH), harness side and ground.

- Is the resistance less than 5 ohms?
- Yes : GO to E4.
- No : REPAIR the circuit. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.
E4 CHECK CIRCUIT 306 (TN/LB) FOR A SHORT TO GROUND
- Measure the resistance between the PCM C175b-32, circuit 306 (TN/LB), harness side and ground.

- Is the resistance greater than 10,000 ohms?
- Yes : INSTALL a new CPP switch. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.
- No : REPAIR the circuit. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.
E5 CHECK FOR CORRECT PCM OPERATION
- Disconnect all the PCM connectors.
- Check for:
  - corrosion
  - pushed-out pins
- Connect all the PCM connectors and make sure they are seated correctly.
- Operate the system and verify the concern is still present.
- Is the concern still present?
- Yes : INSTALL a new PCM. REFER to ELECTRONIC ENGINE CONTROLS - GASOLINE ENGINES . CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.
- No : The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by a loose or corroded connector.
