Switch With RWAL System

SYSTEM OPERATION




Vehicles equipped with the speed control option use a dual function stop lamp switch. The switch is mounted on the brake pedal mounting bracket under the instrument panel. The PCM monitors the state of the dual function stop lamp switch.

BRAKE SWITCH-PCM INPUT
When the brake light switch is activated, the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) receives an input indicating that the brakes are being applied. After receiving this input, the PCM maintains idle speed to a scheduled rpm through control of the Idle Air Control (IAC) motor. The brake switch input is also used to supply/deny power to the speed control servo solenoids.
