G : P0834, P0835. Clutch Pedal Safety Switch, High/Low Voltage.

G1 : CHECK THE POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT TO THE CLUTCH PEDAL SAFETY SWITCH.
1. Disconnect the clutch pedal safety switch electrical connector, CA286.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
3. Measure the voltage between CA286, pin 1 (NR) and GROUND.

Is the voltage greater than 10 volts?

Yes

Goto G3

No
REPAIR the circuit between the clutch pedal safety switch electrical connector, CA286, pin 1 (NR) and the ignition switch. For additional information, refer to wiring diagrams. CLEAR the DTC. TEST the system for normal operation.

G2 : CHECK THE POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT TO THE CLUTCH PEDAL SAFETY SWITCH FOR SHORT CIRCUIT TO BATTERY
1. Disconnect the clutch pedal safety switch electrical connector, CA286.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position.
3. Measure the voltage between CA286, pin 1 (NR) and GROUND.

Is the voltage greater than 1 volt?

Yes

REPAIR the short circuit. For additional information, refer to wiring diagrams. CLEAR the DTC. TEST the system for normal operation.

No
Goto G3

G3 : CHECK THE SWITCH ACTION OF THE CLUTCH PEDAL SAFETY SWITCH .
1. Connect an ohmmeter between pins 1 and 2 of the clutch pedal safety switch.
2. Operate the clutch pedal up and down, while observing the resistance reading.

Does the resistance switch between open and closed circuit as the pedal is operated?

Yes

Goto G4

No
INSTALL a new clutch pedal safety switch. CLEAR the DTC. TEST the system for normal operation.

G4 : CHECK THE SWITCH ACTION OF THE CLUTCH PEDAL SAFETY SWITCH.
1. Disconnect the PCM electrical connector, PI01.
2. Reconnect the clutch pedal safety switch electrical connector, CA286.
3. Connect a voltmeter between PCM electrical connector PI01, pin 31 (GR) and GROUND.
4. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
5. Operate the clutch pedal up and down, while observing the voltage reading.

Does the voltage switch between 0 volts and battery voltage as the pedal is operated?

Yes

INSTALL a new PCM. TEST the system for normal operation.

No
Goto G5

G5 : CHECK THE CLUTCH PEDAL SAFETY SWITCH SIGNAL WIRE FOR CONTINUITY.
1. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position.
2. Disconnect the clutch pedal safety switch electrical connector, CA286.
3. Measure the resistance between clutch pedal safety switch electrical connector CA286, pin 2 (W) and PCM electrical connector PI01, pin 31 (GR).

Is the resistance less than 5 ohms?

Yes

No electrical fault in circuit. Recheck DTCs.

No
REPAIR the circuit between clutch pedal safety switch electrical connector CA286, pin 2 (W) and PCM electrical connector PI01, pin 31 (GR). For additional information, refer to wiring diagrams. CLEAR the DTC. TEST the system for normal operation.
