Symptom:
P0833-CLUTCH RELEASED SWITCH CIRCUIT
When Monitored and Set Condition:
P0833-CLUTCH RELEASED SWITCH CIRCUIT
When Monitored: During crank or when engine speed is between 1500-2880 RPM and
vehicle speed is greater than 25 MPH.
Set Condition: A short to ground is detected during startup. An open circuit is detected
when engine Speed is between 1500-2880 RPM, vehicle speed is >25 MPH, and delta
throttle is >1.1 volts for 4 seconds. This cycle must repeat 5 times per trip for 2 trips.
