Can/Should I turn off this SES code...?
Can/Should I turn off this SES code...? DTC P0704 Clutch Switch Circuit
Can I just delete this code? The SES light kicked on about 2 weeks ago, scanned it and I think it was this code. Well, it just came on again tonight...but everything on my car works and runs just fine. Can I just HP Tuners to just turn this code off? Seriously...what the heck does it do anyways?
I don't have my HP Tuners PC connector with me, but will get it later this week. Thanks!

I've never been able to start the car without pushing the clutch in anyways. Not to sound like a moron, but I don't even know where the stupid sensor is... I'm wondering though if that's the reason why my cruise control just stopped working out of the blue?? Fuses are all intact.
You need HP tuners or LS1 edit, to "turn off" turn off the sensor. You would set the sensor/code to "no errors reported". That does not turn the sensor off, but if the sensor fails or is bad, it will not throw a code or turn on the check engine light.
Honestly, you should just replace it, its actaully a good safety device (so you don't try to start the car in gear with the clutch pedal released. That sensor is probably why your cruise doesn't work. I think the cruise is designed to turn off when the clutch pedal is pressed. I know on a third gen f-body the sensor, or button in under the dash by the clutch pedal.

That is what I meant. If the switch doesn't working and you mask the code the PCM is still reacting to it. Because I wanted to do that with rear O2s but i knew it wouldn't work

Rear O2's do not affect the car's performance. You can just delete those codes and be just fine.
I have HP Tuners, that's why I'm able to "delete" it. After I went to the track one night, on the way home I noticed that my cruise wasn't working. A couple weeks later, the check engine light came on. I put in the scanner, checked it and up popped this code for the cruise switch.
Within HP Tuners, a few others came up as well, but they said (history) (old) next to them. Does that mean at one point they were there but no longer mean anything for how the car is running now? Even though I clear them, they keep coming up saying (history), etc... Can anyone answer that?
Also, how much does the clutch switch sensor cost and how exactly again can I replace it? Thanks fellas.

Off the top of my head...?
I think they date back to a year ago when my bro in law unplugged a front O2 instead of the rear and simulated the front one. The car ran like crap...flashing SES lights at me. Of course I just told it to shut up, I slammed my laptop lid closed and hit my 8th stage of NOS. Then, the floorboard on my passenger side unbolted itself and fell off. Sparks flew all over the place, almost got me right in the eye! It was a close call!
Seriously though, I think they were like...bank 2 lean...can't switch, etc.

This drove me nuts for months on my girl's SS.
There are 2 switches!
Clutch safety switch is at the bottom of the pedal and black in color. It's about 1" x 2" x 1" switch with a big part of it being the "button". This is the switch that will not let you start the car.....blah ...blah blah. (I'm thinking of replacing mine because my car sometimes won't start and I have a hunch.)
The other switch is at the top of the pedal and it's white in color. Look WAY up there. I want to say its cylinder shaped. It has a tiny moving part that is spring loaded and pin shaped. It comes out about 5/8 of an inch or so. The pin faces the pedal so that when the pedal is up ALL THE WAY the pin is in. As soon as you push the pedal down and start to engage the clutch the pin comes out. This switch is a threaded adjustable type. If its not fitted correctly your PCM thinks that the clutch pedal is on the way down to the floor. The problem for me was the pedal was up all the way and the pin was still out! To screw the switch closer to the pedal I disconnected the wire harness because I had to turn it about 10 times. The wires would have been seriously tangled if I hadn't done so.
This information is VERY useful and is on this forum some where. I found it when I was troubleshooting and SES light and no cruise control after a master cylinder swap.
This is just my experience.
