Component Description




Cruise Control - Non Adaptive

Component Description

Steering Wheel Switches

The cruise control steering wheel mounted switches are momentary contact switches that toggle up and down for the switch state. The switches are an input to the SCCM (Steering Column Control Module).

Brake Switch

When the brake pedal is applied, an electrical signal from the stoplamp circuit to the PCM (Powertrain Control Module) deactivates the system. Under increased brake pedal effort, the cruise control deactivator switch opens and removes the ground signal from the PCM (Powertrain Control Module) input circuit, releasing the throttle immediately deactivating the system.
