Normal Operation
When the brake pedal is applied the smart junction box (SJB) sends a message to the PCM to deactivate the speed control if engaged.

The speed control deactivator switch interrupts circuit 535 (LB/RD) removing the voltage signal to the PCM when the brake pedal is applied firmly and passes the stoplamp switch trip point. This is a redundant signal to the PCM.

Possible Causes
- circuit 1890 (RD) open
- circuit 535 (LB/RD) open, or short to voltage
- speed control deactivator switch
- SJB
- anti-lock brake system (ABS) module
- PCM
