TIA 000598.31 – Clutch Pedal Switch, Malfunction

TIA 000598.31 (TIA 598.31)

Code: 000598.31

Shortcode: 598.31

Description:

This diagnostic trouble code (DTC) is generated when the switch position of the clutch pedal switch, as transmitted by the PTA control software via a CAN message, does not match the actual position of the clutch pedal, determined by the signal from the clutch pedal potentiometer.

Reaction:

Limited or no function of the control software, affecting the clutch operation.

Recommendations:

Inspect Clutch Pedal Switch:

  • Verify the physical condition and operation of the clutch pedal switch.
  • Replace the clutch pedal switch if it is faulty or damaged.

Check Clutch Pedal Potentiometer:

  • Inspect the clutch pedal potentiometer for proper function.
  • Ensure the potentiometer is properly calibrated and replace if necessary.

Examine Wiring and Connections:

  • Check all wiring and connectors between the clutch pedal switch, potentiometer, and control unit for any signs of damage, corrosion, or loose connections.
  • Repair or replace any damaged wiring or connectors.

Verify CAN BUS Communication:

  • Ensure the CAN BUS communication between the PTA control software and the clutch pedal components is functioning correctly.
  • Repair any faults in the CAN BUS wiring or connections.

Consult Technical Support:

  • If the issue persists, consult technical support for further diagnostic procedures or potential software updates.

Note:

Regular maintenance and checks of the clutch pedal components and related wiring can prevent malfunction issues. Keeping the system clean and free from debris can also help maintain proper operation.
