code 42:clutch switch system?


Recommended Posts

understod, but

 

i cant find any info on the clutch switch (system) and what functions or systems its tied into.

 

or what negative effects its failure would have on said systems.

 

seems to be one of those subjects with little information available.

 

seeking enlightenment,

thanks, Bill

The clutch switch:

1) tells the computer there is no load on the engine and adjusts operating parameters accordingly.

2) it can be used to not allow the starter to work unless the pedal is depressed

3) in a vehicle with cruise control depressing the clutch disengages the cruse.

pulled the 2 lower panels off and had a good look and the clutch pedal wasnt making good contact with the switch.

 

tight area to adjust switch so i just taped a couple nickels to the pedal to close the switch.maybe that will get it.

 

what would the computer change if it thought here was no load on the engine (even though there was) due to the clutch switch not contacting?

 

thanks, Bill
