Brake Signal: Description and Operation

PURPOSE
The brake switch signals the control module to turn "OFF" the torque converter clutch when the brakes are applied.

OPERATION
The brake switch is normally closed. When the brake pedal is applied the switch will open, changing the signal to the control module. The control module uses this signal to de-energize the TCC solenoid when brake pedal is applied.

LOCATION
The brake switch is located on the brake pedal mounting bracket.
