WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 8 other vehicles, including the 2007 GMC Yukon XL, 2007 GMC Yukon, 2007 Chevrolet Tahoe, 2007 Chevrolet Suburban, and 2007 Chevrolet Avalanche. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The torque converter clutch (TCC) signal circuit is a direct hardwire input to the engine control module (ECM) and transmission control module (TCM) from the body control module (BCM). The ECM monitors the stop lamp switch circuit to detect when the brake pedal has been applied. The BCM monitors the stop lamp switch to determine when the brake pedal is applied. When the brake pedal is applied, The BCM sends a GMLAN serial data message to the ECM indicating that the brake pedal has been applied. The BCM also sends a voltage signal on the stop lamp switch circuit to the ECM.
