Brake Switch

When the brake pedal is applied, an electrical signal from the stoplamp circuit to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) deactivates the system. Under increased brake pedal effort, the cruise control deactivator switch opens and removes the ground signal from the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) input circuit, releasing the throttle immediately deactivating the system.
