Cruise Control - System Operation and Component Description — 2016 workshop reference 6043

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.

Brake Switch

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

Clutch Pedal Position (CPP) Switch

Vehicles equipped with a manual transmission have a CPP switch. The CPP switch is a normally closed switch with the clutch pedal released. When the clutch pedal is pressed, an electrical signal from the CPP switch opens the circuit and signals the PCM to deactivate the cruise control system.
