Circuit Description
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Saturn Vue. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The cruise/brake switch is a normally closed switch and the stop lamp switch is a normally open switch. When the brake pedal is released, the engine control module (ECM) detects a high voltage signal on the cruise/brake switch signal circuit and a low signal voltage signal on the stop lamp switch signal circuit. When the brake pedal is applied, the cruise/brake switch opens and the stop lamp switch closes. The ECM detects a low voltage signal on the cruise brake switch signal circuit and a high voltage signal on the stop lamp switch signal circuit.
