Brake Switch (Cruise Control): Adjustments

Stoplamp And Cruise Control Switches:

The cruise control release switch must be adjusted at the same time the stoplamp and Torque Converter Clutch (TCC) switch is adjusted. The cruise control clutch switch or cruise control clutch anticipate switch cannot be adjusted until after the clutch pedal is installed.

NOTE: Proper stoplamp switch adjustment is essential. Improper stoplamp switch adjustment may cause brake drag and excessive brake lining wear.

1. To adjust, depress brake or clutch pedal and insert cruise control release switch, stoplamp and TCC switch and cruise control clutch switch or cruise control clutch anticipate switch into pedal with bracket until retainer on switches is fully seated.

NOTE: Make sure to apply the proper amount of force to the brake pedal during adjustment. Too much force could damage the vacuum booster. Too little could cause dragging brakes.

2. Slowly pull brake or clutch pedal rearward with a force of 222 N (50 pounds) until "clicking" sounds can no longer be heard. At this point, switches will have moved retainers to their adjusted position Measure Cruise control release switch, stoplamp and TCC switch. Switch contacts should be open at 25.4 mm (1 inch) or less of pedal travel, and occur at the same time or before the onset of braking. The brake pedal travel can be up to 25.4 mm (1 inch) before the cruise control system disengages.
