DTC 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 sets 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.
Application  Key On Engine Off  Key On Engine Running  Continuous Memory 
All Refer to the STARTING SYSTEM to diagnose the symptom no start, no crank.
