EPC 000598.02 – S72 Clutch Pedal Switch, Fault

EPC 000598.02 (EPC 598.02)

Code: 000598.02

Shortcode: 598.02

Description:

This error code, EPC 000598.02, is generated when the position of the clutch pedal switch (S72) does not match the voltage value of the clutch pedal potentiometer (B65). This discrepancy indicates a potential issue with the clutch pedal switch or potentiometer.

Reaction:

When this error is detected, the control system may not accurately interpret the clutch pedal position, leading to issues with clutch operation and potentially affecting vehicle performance and drivability.

Recommendations:

Inspect Clutch Pedal Switch (S72):

  • Check the condition and functionality of the clutch pedal switch. Replace it if it is found to be faulty or damaged.

Verify Clutch Pedal Potentiometer (B65):

  • Test the clutch pedal potentiometer to ensure it is providing accurate voltage readings that match the pedal position. Replace if necessary.

Check Wiring and Connections:

  • Inspect the wiring and connections between the clutch pedal switch and potentiometer for any signs of damage, loose connections, or corrosion. Repair or replace as necessary.

Calibrate Clutch Pedal System:

  • Perform a calibration of the clutch pedal system to ensure accurate matching of the switch position and potentiometer readings.

Reset and Test System:

  • After addressing the issues, reset the system and test the clutch pedal operation to ensure proper functionality and that the error code does not reoccur.

Note:

Regular maintenance and calibration of the clutch pedal system are crucial for accurate operation and preventing faults. Ensuring the integrity of the switch, potentiometer, and associated wiring can help maintain optimal performance.
