Well the dealer said they replaced the clutch switch last time i took it in. If they did or not, I really have no idea. The cruise control has always worked though.
I admit, I may be touching the clutch pedal slightly between shifts but if so it is very very minor. I would not think it would be so sensitive.
Could you be more specific about the "play" in the pedal and how to measure?
I appreciate your help
I believe the cruise control would not engage if the pedal was too tight. You can feel with your finger if there's free-play. There's a zone that basically does nothing.
Touching the clutch in gear, even slightly, will eventually trigger that code. There is a sensor that is designed to kill the cruise control if the clutch is even slightly touched (makes sense because they don't want the cruise to ping the rev limiter when you shift with the cruise control engaged).
That sensor input also triggers a code that lets them know the clutch is slightly depressed. Depressing the clutch, even slightly, pushes the throwout bearing against the pressure plate and causes the bearing to spin. Normally, this isn't a big deal, but the throwout bearing on our JKs is notoriously weak, so this is warning to take your foot off the pedal.
Don't even hold the clutch in at stop lights unless you're stopped for less than 10 seconds. These throw out bearings are terrible.
Try changing that habit and see if the code goes away. [disclaimer - i could be completely wrong
