Circuit/System Description

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Buick LaCrosse and 2008 Buick Allure. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

When the brake pedal is applied, the BCM receives a brake applied signal from the brake pedal position sensor (BPPS). The BCM applies B+ to the stop lamp switch signal circuit. This circuit supplies a B+ signal to the engine control module (ECM) (LY7), transmission control module (TCM) (LY7), throttle actuator control (TAC) module, and electronic brake control module (EBCM) indicating the brakes are applied. B+ is also supplied to the center high mound stop lamp (CHMSL), illuminating it when the brakes are depressed. The BCM also reports the status of the brake pedal on the serial data line. The ECM monitors both the stop lamp switch signal circuit and the serial data message from the BCM to ensure that they are the same.
