Brake Switch

The TCC normally closed brake switch supplies a B+ signal to the PCM. The signal voltage is interrupted when the brakes are applied.

The cruise control normally open brake switch supplies a B+ signal to the PCM when the brake is applied. These signals are used by the PCM in order to control the transmission and the cruise control functions. The brake switches are part of the stoplamp switch.
