EPC 524173.07 – Clutch Pedal Depressed While There is a Fault at the Clutch Pedal Switch
EPC 524173.07 (EPC )
Code: 524173.07
Shortcode:
Description:
This error code, EPC 524173.07, is generated under the following conditions:
- When the reverse drive lever is in forward or reverse position with the clutch pedal potentiometer faulty (diagnostic trouble code EPC 524029.02 active) and the clutch pedal is depressed.
- When the reverse drive lever is in forward or reverse position with the clutch pedal potentiometer faulty (diagnostic trouble code EPC 524029.02 active) and the enable pressure sensor (B105) detects a pressure that is lower than the system pressure.
Reaction:
When this error is detected, the system may not accurately control the clutch operation, leading to potential issues with vehicle performance and safety.
Recommendations:
Inspect Clutch Pedal Potentiometer:
- Check the condition and functionality of the clutch pedal potentiometer (B65). Replace the potentiometer if it is found to be defective.
Verify Reverse Drive Lever Position:
- Ensure that the reverse drive lever is correctly positioned in either forward or reverse when this fault occurs.
Inspect Enable Pressure Sensor (B105):
- Check the condition and functionality of the enable pressure sensor. Replace the sensor if it is found to be defective.
Verify Pressure Readings:
- Measure the pressure readings to ensure the enable pressure sensor (B105) is detecting the correct system pressure.
Inspect Wiring and Connections:
- Inspect the wiring and connections to both the clutch pedal potentiometer and the enable pressure sensor for any signs of damage, loose connections, or corrosion. Repair or replace as necessary.
Reset and Test System:
- After addressing the issues, reset the system and test the clutch pedal potentiometer and enable pressure sensor to ensure they operate correctly and that the error code does not reoccur.
Note:
Maintaining proper functionality of the clutch pedal potentiometer and enable pressure sensor is crucial for safe and reliable vehicle operation. Regular inspections and maintenance help prevent issues related to voltage and pressure discrepancies.
