Default check engine code Ive never had before(P0833)

So this code keeps coming back after every time I reset it....

I installed a adjustable clutch master cylinder and have the pedal adjusted pretty low.

Could that impact it?

The pedal adjustment is probably not activating the cruise control switch, ergo the code.

Either raise the pedal or move the switch activation point.

You might have to do some searching on how to.

There is a spring that is supposed to return it (the pedal) to the top.

Are you limiting the pedals return point? When you say a low pedal do you mean low engagement point? as this is not an issue.

with the tick master clutch cyl you remove the spring, and I have it adjusted so that the pedals return point doesnt bring it all the way up to that sensor... I had to adjust it this way because before, it was over extending my clutch pressure plate fingers and grenaded my last clutch. Not interested in doing that again
