PTQ 524173.03 – Clutch Pedal Potentiometer Channel 1, Voltage Too High
PTQ 524173.03 (PTQ )
Code: 524173.03
Shortcode:
Description:
This diagnostic trouble code, PTQ 524173.03, indicates that the voltage at the signal input of channel 1 of the clutch pedal potentiometer is above 4.7 volts. This suggests a problem with the signal lead or the ground connection of the potentiometer.
Reaction:
When this error is detected, the control software shifts the transmission into neutral to prevent potential damage.
Recommendations:
Inspect Electrical Connections:
- Check the wiring and connectors associated with the clutch pedal potentiometer.
- Ensure all connections are secure and free of corrosion or damage.
Test Potentiometer:
- Use a multimeter to measure the voltage at channel 1 of the potentiometer.
- Replace the potentiometer if it is found to be defective.
Verify Circuit Integrity:
- Inspect the circuit for any signs of high voltage or grounding issues.
- Repair or replace any identified issues to ensure proper voltage levels.
Update Software:
- Verify that the control software is up-to-date with the latest version.
- Update the software if there are any available updates to improve system accuracy and error handling.
Monitor System Performance:
- After addressing the above steps, test the clutch pedal potentiometer to ensure proper functionality.
- Confirm that the voltage at the signal input is within the specified range during operation.
Note:
- Regular inspection and maintenance of the potentiometer and associated components can prevent high voltage issues.
- If the issue persists despite taking the above measures, consult technical support or the manufacturer for further assistance.
