Normal Operation
The powertrain control module (PCM) sends a signal through circuit 248 (TN/OG) to the speed control switches, which passes through the clockspring. The return signal is sent to the PCM through circuit 133 (BK) and the clockspring. When the brake pedal is applied, the smart junction box (SJB) sends a message to the PCM to deactivate the speed control, if engaged.

The speed control deactivator switch interrupts circuit 535 (LB/RD), removing the voltage signal to the PCM, when the brake pedal is applied firmly and passes the stoplamp switch trip point. This is a redundant signal to the PCM.

Vehicles equipped with a manual transmission have an additional clutch pedal speed control deactivator switch. The clutch pedal speed control deactivator switch, normally closed, supplies a ground signal to the powertrain control module (PCM) through circuit 1899 (WH). When the clutch pedal is pressed, the clutch pedal speed control deactivator switch moves to the open position, removing the ground signal from the PCM, which deactivates the speed control. Circuit 1205 (BK) supplies ground to the clutch pedal speed control deactivator switch.

Possible Causes
- Speed control switch
- TR sensor alignment
- Clutch pedal speed control deactivator switch
- PCM
