The brake switch informs the electronic brake control module (EBCM) when the brake is depressed. The brake switch is normally closed, supplying 12 volts to the EBCM when the brake is released. When the brake pedal is pressed, voltage on the torque converter clutch (TCC) brake switch signal circuit is 0 volts.
