Error P0830 Limit switch (clutch pedal position sensor) A - electrical circuit malfunction

This error appeared and disappeared periodically. And she could disappear for a long time. But recently it has become permanent. Its appearance was accompanied by jerking of the car when changing gears. It was especially noticeable in 1st, 2nd and 3rd gears. The Internet talks about a malfunction of the clutch pedal position sensor (CPPS).

The clutch pedal position sensor is one of the elements of the engine management system with an electronic gas pedal. This sensor provides a more flexible control scheme for engine modes. It simplifies the process of starting to move, eliminates “drops” and jerks of the car when changing gears in the manual transmission, and also allows for a reduction in fuel consumption.

By providing information to the engine controller about the moment the clutch is engaged and disengaged, the clutch pedal position sensor allows it to reduce or increase engine speed at the right moment, as well as adjust the ignition timing. The clutch pedal position sensor is an ordinary limit switch with two positions - “on” and “off”.

Its normal position is open, that is, it turns on only when the clutch pedal is pressed.

Malfunctions of the clutch position sensor The following symptoms may indicate a malfunction of the clutch pedal position sensor:

“dive” of the car when changing gears; a sharp increase or decrease in engine speed when the clutch is disengaged. Also, if a malfunction of the clutch pedal position sensor occurs, error 0830 “Clutch pedal sensor error” is recorded in the engine controller and the “Check Engine” light in the instrument cluster turns on.

Error 0830 is detected if the engine controller does not receive a signal from the clutch sensor:

within 2 seconds after changing gear while driving after four gear changes at speeds above 10 km/h and engine speed above 1000 rpm The main causes of error 0830:

malfunction of the clutch sensor itself, short circuit or open circuit, incorrect height of the clutch pedal. The new sensor was purchased quite a long time ago and was still waiting for installation.

The sensor is located on the clutch pedal bracket. Changing it is not very convenient. You will need a short Phillips screwdriver and it is advisable to have a headlamp for illumination. You will have to suffer a little in an awkward position to replace this sensor. The microswitch is to blame, which, in principle, was just confirmed by the tester.

Error P 0830, another malfunction on the Grant, Priora, etc.

The clutch status is transmitted to the vehicle's ECU via the clutch switch. (essentially a micro button or “Mikrik”) When you press the clutch pedal while driving, the load is removed from the engine. However, the ECU assumes that there is a load because it receives signals from the VSS sensor and therefore controls the unloaded engine as if it were loaded. The clutch status signal is transmitted from the clutch switch. This signal allows the ECM to process sudden changes in load on the vehicle's engine. and adjust the speed.

Code P-0830 is set when a change in signal from the clutch switch is not detected. The error appears, but the car can start and even drive, just the speed will not be stable.

There could be many reasons for this

1) malfunction of the clutch switch; ( yes, these small buttons often get stuck, the spring breaks or just a break in the soldering)

2) a break or short circuit in the circuit:
if you look at the wiring from the driver’s feet to the front passenger’s feet, a break is possible, but I haven’t seen many such
cases) 3) the height of the clutch pedal is incorrect.
adjust something that clicks endlessly and has play in all fastenings.
after 3 years of operation. The carpet is constantly getting in the way, the bar that holds it all up is made of “iron plasticine -3” It’s possible, but the task is not a quick one The result, as always, is not very comforting

1. Replacing the sensor, yes it helps if it was the cause, the price is not cheap but tolerable.

2. Ring the sensor. its wire, its plugs. and wiring to the ECU.

3. Adjust the pedal, lubricate it a little, look at the connectors to see if they are secured to the standard clip, and if not, the sensor works! and the wires are fine! ( What will you find out after calling

) just clean the contacts and put them back in place.

I wish you never see Error P-0830 on your cars and all the others. Good luck to everyone. If the article was useful to you, please subscribe to my channel It’s not difficult for you on You-Tube, I’m pleased.

The first step in the troubleshooting process for any problem is to research vehicle-specific technical service bulletins (TSBs) by year, model, and powertrain. In some cases, this can save a lot of time in the long run by pointing you in the right direction. The second step is to locate the clutch position sensor switch and look for obvious physical damage. Perform a thorough visual inspection to check the associated wiring for obvious defects such as scraping, rubbing, exposed wires, or burn marks. Then check the connectors and connections for security, corrosion and damaged pins. This process should include all wiring connectors and connections to the clutch position sensor switch, PCM, starter, and starter solenoid. Consult the technical specifications for the vehicle to see if a fuse or fuse-able connection is included in the circuit. Preliminary Steps The preliminary steps are very vehicle specific and require appropriate advanced equipment to perform accurately. These procedures require a digital Multi Meter and vehicle specific technical references. Voltage requirements will be very based on the specific year and model of the vehicle. The ChecksWhen the clutch is disengaged voltage should be 12 volts on one side of the switch. When the clutch is engaged you should have voltage on both sides of the shifter. The starter solenoid or starter must also have strength based on configuration. If this process determines that there is no power or ground, it may be necessary to check the integrity of the wiring and clutch position sensor. When the clutch is engaged, you should have continuity through the shifter, and when the clutch is released, the meter should not indicate continuity through the shifter. Continuity tests should always be performed with power removed from the circuit and normal readings for wiring and connections should be 0 ohms of resistance unless otherwise specified in the data sheet. Resistance or lack of continuity is an indication of faulty wiring that is open or shorted and must be repaired or replaced.

Today I'm standing at a traffic light turning left. I see the window, I pull away sharply, and I understand that the car is not moving - the check light comes on, the revolutions do not rise above 3 thousand on the tachometer, the car drags along, I try to squeeze the clutch and accelerate - the same thing. Somehow I passed the intersection, I pressed the gas - the revs did not rise above 3,000. Config: 111830, 1.6 8 cells, e-gas, brains of NPP Itelma M74 11183-1411020-55, some kind of non-stock firmware, we reflashed it, there were no complaints before, except for the error 1335 that popped up once. I read the errors via bluetooth: P1335 and P0830:

P1335 Remote control actuator monitoring: Damper position out of range

P0830 Clutch switch malfunction The clutch status is transmitted to the vehicle's ECU via the clutch switch. Pressing the clutch pedal while driving takes the load off the engine. However, the ECU assumes that there is a load because it receives signals from the VSS sensor and therefore controls the unloaded engine as if it were loaded. Since in this case the optimal control of fuel injection is disrupted, the engine speed becomes uneven and smoke is generated. The clutch status signal is transmitted from the clutch switch. This signal allows the ECM to process sudden changes in load on the vehicle's engine. In addition, the clutch switch signal, along with vehicle speed and engine speed signals, is used to determine which gear is engaged. Code P0830 is registered if a change in the signal from the clutch switch is not detected: 1) within 2 seconds after changing gear while driving 2) after four gear changes at a speed of more than 10 km/h and a rotation speed of more than 1000 rpm. The reason for this may be 1) a malfunction of the clutch switch; 2) open or short circuit in the circuit or 3) incorrect clutch pedal height. The ECM recognizes the engaged gear based on data received from the crankshaft and wheel speed sensors

After a couple of starts, these errors disappeared. What is this and what should I do with all this now? It’s somehow scary to drive, knowing that when driving into traffic, instead of accelerating, you can get a fig. What kind of clutch switch is there, are there any glitches with it?

On the latest models of VAZ cars equipped with an electronic gas pedal, a clutch pedal position sensor is installed. Let's consider why it is needed, the principle of operation and possible malfunctions. Where is the clutch sensor installed?

The clutch pedal position sensor on VAZ cars is installed directly on the clutch pedal bracket; it can be seen by looking under the steering column.

The clutch pedal position sensor is one of the elements of the engine management system with an electronic gas pedal. This sensor provides a more flexible control scheme for engine modes. It simplifies the process of starting to move, eliminates “drops” and jerks of the car when changing gears in the manual transmission, and also allows for a reduction in fuel consumption.

By providing information to the engine controller about the moment the clutch is engaged and disengaged, the clutch pedal position sensor allows it to reduce or increase engine speed at the right moment, as well as adjust the ignition timing.

The clutch pedal position sensor is an ordinary limit switch with two positions - “on” and “off”.

Its normal position is open, that is, it turns on only when the clutch pedal is pressed.

The following symptoms may indicate a malfunction of the clutch pedal position sensor:

  • car "pecks" when changing gears
  • a sharp increase or decrease in engine speed when the clutch is disengaged

Also, if a malfunction occurs in the clutch pedal position sensor, error 0830 “Clutch pedal sensor error” is recorded in the engine controller and the “Check Engine” light in the instrument cluster turns on.

Error 0830 is detected if the engine controller does not receive a signal from the clutch sensor:

  • within 2 seconds after changing gear while driving
  • after four gear changes at speeds above 10 km/h and engine speeds above 1000 rpm

The main reasons for error 0830:

  • malfunction of the clutch sensor itself
  • short circuit or open circuit
  • Incorrect clutch pedal height

We encountered error 0830 while preparing the material “How to get there without a clutch?” We recorded video instructions on how to change gears without a clutch. After several gear changes without disengaging the clutch, the “Check Engine” light came on on the panel, which went out only after several dozen gear changes in normal mode.

Clutch sensor price

On many VAZ cars with an electronic gas pedal there is a connector for this sensor, but there is no sensor itself. It is not clear whether they forget to install it at the factory, or whether careless dealers remove it. The second option is also quite possible, since this sensor is still in great short supply. It costs an average of 350 rubles, but finding it on sale is almost impossible.

There are two types of clutch pedal position sensors for VAZ cars:

21214-3720020-02 for Lada 4×4 cars with electronic gas pedal

1118-3720015 for Kalina, Grant and Priora cars with an electronic gas pedal.

Video response about error 0830

A video made by our friend Grantovod will help you solve the problem.

We had the same garbage, check the wires under the pedals. If everything is fine there, then it’s better to go for diagnostics

Another option is to change the clutch pedal sensor. Everything is done very quickly and for pennies. It should help.

Immediately after this, I took the car for diagnostics. It's safer than fixing it yourself.

It's something to do with the clutch. Well, more precisely, everything is fine with him, but the wires either came off or were broken. If you have a clue about cars, fix it yourself; if you don’t, take it to a service station.

Thank you - it’s a breeze to repair..... I’m worried about why BC told me this - why didn’t the check light come on?

Dmitry the check light will light up in 10-15 minutes, checked for other errors.

We need to talk less and get closer to the point.

Disassemble the old sensor and clean the contact area in it, and a multimeter will show the same resistance as on the new one. It’s just that over time a film, soot, oxide, etc. appears on the contacts.

I also got this error, but everything is fine with the car, except for the constantly beeping handbrake warning light. It would be nice if the light just came on, but this squeak is killing (I turned the music up louder, it also gets boring). I made a mistake on the button under the handbrake lever, but replacing it didn’t help. The car is 5 years old, 106,000 miles, the clutch sensor was changed at about 90,000. Otherwise, there are no problems, the car is unpretentious, but even an old woman can get into trouble. If anyone has encountered such a problem. Write how you found the solution. Thank you.

Hello! Lada Granta automatic transmission is blocked. Please advise what to do. I drove it to a hundred, but to no avail. What could be the reason? The battery was not in the car for 3 days. Please advise what to do? Thank you

This is not a sensor. An ordinary microswitch costs 300 rubles per bucket, not per piece. Go to a radio store, buy and re-solder two wires.

Error codes that are logged as errors by the engine control module memory belong to a specific type of diagnostic information. The interpretation of codes is useful for any owner, including the owner of a Lada Kalina.

Through these encrypted information units, the process of self-diagnosis of all on-board electronic components in the car is carried out. This is very useful because it provides the ability to identify a malfunction before a critical failure of a system component occurs.

How does the self-diagnosis complex work?

This system is self-regulated in automatic mode. Its structural composition includes several electronic devices. Based on sensor impulses, a variety of information flows into the ECU memory, among which there are faults. They are presented in the form of designated fault codes. Car manufacturers do not support the idea that owners are inclined to independently maintain electronic systems of cars, therefore they tend not to disclose the meaning of the codes. Here we can see the noble motive of the developers, because they understand that in this way scammers can take advantage of the situation and change the settings of the electronic module, for example, reduce the odometer readings before selling the Lada Kalina car, etc.

This situation forces the manufacturer and dealers to persuade owners to service the self-diagnosis system in specialized services.

A particularly important component of this system is the on-board controller. With its help, information collected from sensors is processed and displayed on the display. Lada Kalina does not have such a device, which deprives the owner of the ability to visually read information regarding breakdowns. This is where scanning equipment comes to the rescue. Thanks to it, self-diagnosis occurs.

On which cars is this problem most common?

The problem with code P0830 can occur on different machines, but there are always statistics on which brands this error occurs more often. Here is a list of some of them:

  • Cadillac
  • Chevrolet
  • Chrysler (Chrysler PT Cruiser)
  • Datsun (Datsun on-DO)
  • Dodge
  • Ford (Ford Transit, Focus)
  • GMC
  • Hyundai (Hyundai Grand Starex, H1, Starex)
  • Jaguar
  • Jeep (Jeep Wrangler)
  • Kia (Kia Bongo, Rio, Sorento)
  • Nissan
  • Pontiac
  • Renault (Renault Kangu, Megan)
  • Saturn
  • Ssangyong
  • Lada Granta, Kalina, Largus, Niva, Priora

You can sometimes encounter other errors with fault code P0830. The most common are the following: P0831, P0832, P0833, P0834, P0835, P083F.

Diagnostics using third-party equipment

More precisely, errors on Chevy Niva can be identified by connecting additional equipment. The technique is more technically complex, but allows us to determine the cause of a breakdown or failure with minimal error. In this case, the sequence of actions is as follows:

  • turn off the engine;
  • find the contact connector under the dashboard, the connector is located at the bottom of the steering column;
  • connect the configured computer to the ECU output;
  • turn on the ignition;
  • follow the program instructions.

If all actions are performed correctly, all available information and any errors in the form of encrypted codes will be displayed in the desktop window.

There are also specialized scanners designed specifically for Chevrolet NIVA. Dealer devices are connected to the place of the standard signaling unit through an output cable.

Separately, we should highlight modern devices designed to connect a smartphone to a car, while reading encodings and controlling operating modes occurs directly from the gadget’s display.

At the same time, you should know what the encodings displayed during diagnostics mean. The code consists of several elements.

  • P – the motor electronics have failed;
  • C – there are problems with the chassis;
  • B – interior space, a problem has been detected;
  • U – there are problems when establishing pairing of on-board systems.

The next element is a single digit:

  • 0 – OBD 2;
  • 1-2 – standard code of the manufacturer;
  • 3 – reserve part of electrical equipment.

The following digit determines the exact serial number of the line in which the defect was detected:

  • 0 – exhaust system device;
  • 1-2 – violation of the fuel or air supply device to the engine;
  • 3 – ignition does not work correctly;
  • 4 – additional equipment control;
  • 5 – monitoring the engine idle state;
  • 7-8 – transmission and chassis design.

Diagnostics using the dashboard

It is advisable for the owner of the Russian model we are considering to remember all the error codes that may periodically occur in the system. In addition, it is recommended that you learn how to diagnose the dashboard yourself. It is designed to reflect error codes that occur in the electronic components of the Lada Kalina.

To start the diagnostic process, you will need to press a button that records the daily mileage. While holding it, turn on the ignition by turning the appropriate key. If this manipulation is performed correctly, the arrows on the scales of the speedometer, tachometer and auxiliary indicators will begin to move along a circular path, moving from the initial to the final position.

Upon completion of this movement of the arrows, the owner will need to switch the screen to another mode. This will be done by a special button located on the wiper switch under the steering wheel. Pressing displays a picture with performance indicators of a wide range of devices controlled by the ECU. The software version of the complex is also displayed here - self-diagnosis.

After updating the information three times, the error codes themselves appear on the device, expressed in digital form.

Let's look at the list of errors by number:

  1. No. 2 – the error indicates the presence of a deviation of the voltage indicator in the on-board network from the nominal parameter;
  2. No. 3 – “speaks” of a failed fuel level sensor in the tank;
  3. No. 4 - the so-called error 4 is activated if there is a break in the antifreeze temperature sensor circuit in the cooling circuit or the component itself has become unusable;
  4. No. 5 – indicates a breakdown of the outside temperature sensor;
  5. No. 6 - confirms the fact of engine overheating;
  6. No. 7 – states a critically low level of oil pressure in the corresponding engine circuit;
  7. No. 8 – error 8 for non-working brake components of the car;
  8. No. 9 – confirms the fact of battery discharge.

The “E” symbol deserves special attention, which indicates the presence of errors contained in the “EEPROM”. Each malfunction, including error 4 and error 8, requires attention from the car owner.

EMUR breakdowns

It is worth remembering that if the electromechanical power steering malfunctions, the failure index will be indicated by the symbol “C”. What problems may arise:

  • “1011” - there is no connection of the sensor to rotate the steering wheel and its power steering unit;
  • “1013” - the generator is subject to excessive voltage, the power level has gone beyond the permissible limit;
  • “1021” - the torque controller is faulty, it is recommended to conduct a thorough inspection of the device;
  • “1031” - no signal from the controller system, incorrect position of the steering wheel shaft;
  • “1041” - incorrect position of the rotor type mechanism, the control panel unit could not detect it;
  • “1050” - the electric motor of the pumping system has broken. There may be a short circuit inside the winding. It is recommended to carefully inspect the damaged area;
  • “1070” - pronounced problems in the operation of the EUR control module.

There is a separate category of errors, marked as “E” - a breakdown and error are detected in the data packet, which are stored in the EEPROM.

VAZ Granta errors indicating a malfunction in the gasoline supply system (0200)

  • 200 – the wiring on the injector control module is broken, the unit itself may also be damaged;
  • 201-204 – break in the supply line of injectors for No. 1-4, respectively;
  • 217 – the motor has overheated, the second value is a breakdown of the internal combustion engine temperature sensor;
  • 222/223 – TPS excess or critical decrease in signal level from the unit;
  • 261/264/267/270 – injector control lines for numbers 1-4, respectively, a short circuit to body weight was detected;
  • 262/265/268/271 – similar, only with a short circuit to the on-board wiring.

How to diagnose and reset error codes?

In addition to the instrument panel, in Lada Kalina you can diagnose a controller that monitors the functioning of a specific electronic component of the LADA Kalina car. For example, the Bosch-ME-7.9.7 controller is capable of informing about the presence of an engine error. Reference books or a special program will help you decipher the meanings of the codes. Mechanics remember the interpretation of all codes by heart, but beginners and owners with a similar desire have only to step on the path of an amateur diagnostician.

More specifically about some code examples:

  • error “0441” indicates a malfunction of the oxygen sensor;
  • code “1602” will indicate a loss of voltage in the ECU power circuit;
  • error “0363” will inform you about a coil failure.

The nature of the autonomous diagnostic module is such that the breakdown of a specific part is not displayed, but a specific area is localized, in which the owner needs to solve the existing problems through more accurate diagnostic measures and subsequent repairs. Many car owners will find a table of codes and their decoding useful.

For example, when error “0504” is displayed, this only hints at a malfunction in the brake system. The owner will find out exactly what has gone wrong if he performs a thorough inspection of the brake circuit. This is also true for other systems and components.

Error "0343". The decoding shows that the sensor responsible for the correctness of the signal in the phase circuit overestimates the readings. To find out the reasons why the sensor operates in this mode, you will need to perform manual diagnostics.

Self-diagnosis is designed to make it easier for the LADA Kalina owner in troubleshooting, as it allows you to focus suspicion on certain areas of action, saving time. For example, a clutch problem will be indicated by error “0830”. Its decoding is given in the table.

Note that error codes can change their meanings when the ECU software is changed. This forces the owner to have an up-to-date table to avoid confusion.

what is a clutch position sensor used for?

The clutch pedal position signal switch is part of the clutch pedal assembly and is designed to provide a signal to the ECM that the clutch pedal is depressed. The switch has one group of contacts that switches voltage from the terminal. 15. When the clutch pedal is pressed, the contacts are open. The clutch pedal position switch signal is used by the ECM software to improve the vehicle's driving characteristics.

AvtoVAZ recommendations for eliminating error P0830. If sensor 1118-3720015-00 is working, you need to update the controller software.

How to reset errors?

Upon completion of self-diagnosis, errors must be reset. How to perform this action can be found in the corresponding recommendations of the car manufacturer. In practice, it has been established that the reset procedure is identical to the manipulations to launch a new system check. Here the controllers are reset and the reset itself occurs, which is provided by special software tools present in the ECU software. The procedure is also performed during the next service in case of characteristic malfunctions. For example, code “0171” may be displayed with annoying consistency, indicating low-quality fuel in the LADA Kalina car system of the same name. This should alert the owner to changing the refueling location. Owners also consider “1545”, “0422” and “1426” to be common errors.

Symptoms of malfunction

The main driver symptom of P0830 is the MIL (Malfunction Indicator Light). It is also called Check engine or simply “check light”.

They can also appear as:

  1. The “Check engine” warning light on the control panel will light up (the code will be stored in memory as a malfunction).
  2. The engine will not start.
  3. The engine will start without engaging the clutch.

The severity of the P0830 code is usually moderate, but it can be serious if the vehicle is started with the clutch disengaged, creating a safety hazard.
