Brake Switch

This switch may also be referred to as a brakelight switch. See Fig 1 . Powertrain Control Module (PCM) uses this switch input to maintain idle speed at a preprogrammed RPM when brakes are applied. If PCM receives an input signal from brake switch when speed control system is on, PCM will disengage speed control system.
