Circuit Description

The brake switch is used to indicate brake pedal status to the transaxle control module (TCM). The brake switch is a normally open switch. Applying the brake pedal closes the switch, supplying voltage to the TCM.

Releasing the brake pedal interrupts voltage to the TCM. This DTC is stored at start-up. If the TCM receives a brake switch signal after start-up, the DTC will be stored in memory.
