Brake light switch and brake pedal 
switch, checking
 
     
Note:  
     For safety reasons, the instruction from the 
accelerator pedal sensor (potentiometer) to the 
ECM to open the throttle valve is suppressed 
when brake is being operated. This requires the 
brake light switch signal and also the brake pedal 
switch signal in the control module. 
     If brake pedal is operated with accelerator pedal 
constantly depressed, engine is immediately 
regulated down to idle speed. A faulty switch can 
lead to undesired regulation.
