Normal Operation

The PCM sends a signal through circuit WH to the speed control switches, which passes through the clock-sprng. The return signal is sent to the PCM through circuit GN/BN and the clockspring. When the brake pedal applied, the stoplamp switch sends a voltage signal to the PCM on circuit VT/WH to deactivate the speed control if engaged.

The speed control deactivator switch (part of the stoplamp switch) interrupts circuit VT/OG removing the voltage signal to the PCM when the brake pedal is applied. This is a redundant signal to the PCM.

Vehicles equipped with a manual transaxle have an additional clutch pedal speed control deactivator switch. The clutch pedal speed control deactivator switch, normally closed, supplies a ground signal to the PCM through circuit GN/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 BK/GN supplies ground to the clutch pedal speed control deactivator switch.

The ABS module monitors brake pressure and also receives the stoplamp switch input from the Smart Junction Box (SJB) along the High Speed Control Area Network (HS-CAN) bus. A fault in the ABS module can disable the speed control system.
