DTC P0502
DTC P0503
The vehicle speed sensor (VSS) is a 3 wire sensor. The engine control module (ECM) provides a 5 volt
reference circuit, low reference circuit and a signal circuit to the VSS. The VSS is a Hall Effect type sensor that
produces a square wave output signal to the ECM. As vehicle speed increases, the output frequency of the VSS
signal increases. The ECM converts the square wave output signal into vehicle speed shown as km/h (MPH).
The ECM supplies the VSS signal to other control modules on the vehicle through the serial data
communications line.

Circuit/System Description
The clutch pedal position (CPP) sensor is a three wire sensor, connected to a 5 V reference circuit, a low
reference circuit, and a signal circuit. The engine control module supplies 5 V to the CPP sensor, and also
provides a sensor ground path on the low reference circuit. The CPP sensor sends a voltage signal to the ECM
on the signal circuit. The voltage on the signal circuit will vary from a voltage near 4 V when the clutch pedal is
released, to a voltage near 1 V when the clutch pedal is applied.

DTC Descriptor
DTC P080A
The clutch pedal position (CPP) is a 3-wire sensor, connected to a 5 V reference circuit, a low reference circuit,
and a signal circuit. The engine control module supplies 5 V to the CPP sensor, and also provides a sensor
ground path on the low reference circuit. The CPP sensor sends a voltage signal to the ECM on the signal
circuit. The voltage on the signal circuit will vary from a voltage near 5 V when the clutch pedal is released to a
voltage less than or equal to 1.5 V when the clutch pedal is applied.

Repair Instructions
NOTE: The clutch pedal position (CPP) sensor learn procedure is required when the
following service procedures have been performed regardless of whether DTC
P080A is set:
NOTE: The CPP sensor learn procedure cannot be performed more than once per
ignition cycle. The clutch pedal needs to be fully depressed and held
steady throughout this procedure in order to perform a correct learning.
4. The scan tool will display under CPP Learn Status: Not Learned, In Process, Complete, Fail - Low Volt,
Fail - High Volt, or Fail Moving. The scan tool will display under CPP Learn Status Complete if the
process was successful.
5. If the scan tool indicates that DTC P080A ran and passed this ignition the CPP sensor learn procedure is
complete. If the scan tool indicates DTC P080A failed or did not run this ignition, refer to DTC P080A, .
If any other DTC is set, refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle for the applicable DTC.
6. Turn OFF the ignition for 30 s after the learn procedure has successfully completed in order to store the
CPP sensor variation values in ECM history.

In this transmission angular cone bearings are used for all shafts. These bearings require a certain amount of
play and pretension. The required amount of bearing play and pretension is achieved at the production stage by
using shims under the angular cone bearing in the transmission housing.
