About C1133

C1133 is a manufacturer-specific chassis diagnostic trouble code. It belongs to the C-prefix family of codes, which covers chassis, braking, steering, suspension, or stability-control faults.

When C1133 is stored, the module has detected a short-circuit (voltage pulled to ground or to supply) in the monitored circuit.

Scanning & clearing: Chassis (C) codes are stored in the ABS, traction control, or stability-control modules. An enhanced or OEM-level scan tool is usually required to read and clear them.

C1133 is a manufacturer-specific code. The same code string on a different make may have a different meaning. Always confirm the code's definition against the vehicle's service information for the specific make and model under test.

Code Information

The clutch position sensor or switch reports the position of the clutch pedal to the control module on manual transmission vehicles. The module uses this input to disengage cruise control when the clutch is pressed, to permit starter operation only with the clutch down, and on equipped vehicles to manage stop and start and shift related functions. C1133 sets when the module detects that the clutch position circuit is shorted to battery voltage, so the signal is pulled high and held regardless of actual pedal position. When this code is set cruise control may be inoperative, the engine may cran...
