Brake Switch (Bussed Input)

The Brake Switch signal is a PCI broadcast message and is used to ensure that the torque converter clutch is disengaged when the brakes are applied. It is used also to cancel cruise control when the brakes are applied. The Brake Switch is hardwired to the PCM and bussed to the TCM.
