P0807 Fault Code

Clutch Position Sensor Circuit Low Malfunction

• What does that mean?

• Causes
• Solutions

The P0807 error code indicates a malfunction in the clutch position sensor circuit, specifically indicating that the sensor is reading a low voltage signal. This sensor is critical for detecting the position of the clutch in a manual transmission vehicle and communicates this information to the vehicle's engine control module (ECM). A faulty clutch position sensor can lead to issues with shifting and can affect the overall performance of the vehicle.

What are the symptoms of the P0807 code?

Symptoms of a P0807 error code can manifest in various ways, including:

• Difficulty in engaging or disengaging the clutch
• Unusual noises when trying to change gears
• The vehicle may be stuck in gear or have issues with gear selection
• A warning light may illuminate on the dashboard, typically the check engine light.

What causes the P0807 code?

Common causes of the P0807 fault code include:

• Defective clutch position sensor
• Damaged wiring or connectors in the sensor circuit
• Poor electrical connections that may result in low voltage readings
• Issues within the ECM that may incorrectly interpret signals from the sensor
• Mechanical problems in the clutch system that could impact sensor operation.

How to fix P0807?

To resolve the P0807 code, the following steps are generally advised:

• Inspect the clutch position sensor for physical damage or wear and replace it if necessary.
• Check and repair any damaged wiring or poor connections in the sensor circuit.
• Ensure that the sensor is properly calibrated and functioning.
• If the sensor and wiring are in good condition, consider checking the ECM for faults.
