Circuit/System Description
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 7 other vehicles, including the 2008 GMC Yukon XL, 2008 GMC Yukon, 2008 Chevrolet Tahoe, 2008 Chevrolet Suburban, and 2008 Cadillac Escalade EXT. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The brake switch indicates brake pedal status to the control solenoid (w/body and TCM) valve assembly. The normally-closed brake switch supplies ignition voltage to the TCM. Applying the brake pedal opens the switch, interrupting voltage to the TCM. Releasing the brake pedal resumes voltage to the TCM.
