Clutch Pedal Switch 'B' Circuit. P0833 indicates that the powertrain control module (PCM) has detected an implausible signal or an electrical fault in the circuit for clutch pedal switch 'B', which is typically the second switch used to confirm clutch pedal position for starting and cruise control logic. The PCM compares the expected state of this switch with the actual voltage on the signal circuit and sets the code when the two do not agree.
