The cruise control switch is an input to the engine control module (ECM). The ECM monitors the cruise control switch signal circuit in order to detect when a cruise control function has been requested. The ECM detects a specific voltage signal on the cruise control switch signal circuit when a cruise control function switch is activated, with each switch having a different predetermined voltage value.
