Theory Of Operation

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

The Electric Vehicle Control Unit (EVCU) monitors the status of both brake switches. Brake Switch 1 is normally closed and Brake Switch 2 is normally open. When the brake pedal is pressed the status of both switches change from Closed to Open or Open to Closed. If one switch status changes and the other does not a diagnostic code will set.
