Stop Lamp Switch

The stop lamp switch is installed to the brake pedal bracket. The switch detects the state of the brake pedal and transmits an ON/OFF signal to VCM.

The contact of the stop lamp switch is usually open. When the brake pedal is depressed, it closes and the stop lamp switch signal is transmitted as a voltage signal.
