DTC Advanced Diagnostics: P0835
DTC P0835:Clutch Pedal Position Switch B Circuit Low Voltage (Engine Type: K24W1)

General Description

The powertrain control module (PCM) monitors the clutch pedal position switch B signal to switch the starting system from auto control mode to manual mode when it malfunctions. When the PCM cannot detect an ON signal from clutch pedal position switch B while the clutch pedal is released, the detection continues after the ignition switch is turned to LOCK (0), or the engine start/stop button is pressed to select the OFF mode. If the malfunction continues for a set time after the ignition switch is turned to LOCK (0), or the engine start/stop button is pressed to select the OFF mode, the PCM detects a malfunction and stores a DTC.

Diagnosis Details
Conditions for setting the DTC
When a malfunction is detected during the first drive cycle, a Pending DTC is stored in the PCM memory. If the malfunction returns in the next (second) drive cycle, a Confirmed DTC and the freeze data are stored. The MIL does not come on.

Conditions for clearing the DTC
The Pending DTC, the Confirmed DTC, and the freeze data can be cleared with the scan tool Clear command or by disconnecting the battery.
