P080AClutch Position Not Learned
- Generic OBD-II code · Powertrain
- Turns on the check-engine light
- Matters for the ITP
- How the car detects it
- The 'Clutch Position Sensor A' family (P0805 circuit to P0809, P080A not learned) means different parts by vehicle generation. GM used P0806–P080A until model year 2018 for the analog clutch pedal sensor of its manual cars, then the newer pedal sensor codes P08A8 ff; Saab's 2012 9-3 does the same. Ford's DPS6 dual clutch uses the family for the electric motor of clutch A. P080A means the learned clutch position is missing or implausible. On GM manual cars the factory learns the pedal position 'clutch fully pressed', and the engine module then tracks it as the clutch wears; a learned value outside 9.0–36.0 % of travel sets the code (250 ms, type A, one trip), a factory counter keeps the MIL off during assembly. Saab clears it by relearning with the scan tool. A relearn is needed after replacing the pedal sensor, master cylinder, clutch or engine module.
