Default How do you bypass the clutch engagement sensor?

I'm throwing an occasional code with the Tick master, I'm tired of adjusting the pedal.
Should I short the wires to the sensor? What does the PCM want to see?
Thanks.

If your talking about the sensor that allows the car to start and when the clutch is depressed than just put a jumper wire in the plug and do away with the sensor. Keep in mind this will allow the key to crank the engine without the clutch being pressed though

The sensor needs to be adjusted to the pedal. Have you done that yet? Just unplug the sensor, turn it to adjust to the pedal, and then plug it back in.

Yea - Remove the lower dash panel and then you'll be able to see the switch. There's one for the clutch and one for the brake. You may have to take the switch out to adjust it. Can't remember.

You just have to turn it so the switch "reaches out" more and engages the pedal fully when the pedal is released. When properly adjusted, the plunger should be all the way in when the pedal is up.
