What is the Cruise Control Brake Release Switch all about?

When you do begin to decelerate your car, the cruise control will need to be disengaged or deactivated. Your vehicle is equipped with redundant switches to ensure it is possible to turn off your cruise control even if one switch fails to operate. There is a clutch release switch on vehicles equipped with a manual transmission that cancels the cruise control set speed when the clutch pedal is depressed. There is also an on/off or cancel button on the steering wheel or column that will deactivate the cruise set speed. A vacuum brake bleed switch is equipped on older vehicles which will also cut out the cruise control. All vehicles will be equipped with a cruise control brake release switch. When the brake pedal is pressed, a switch on or behind the pedal is hit that opens a circuit. The cruise control servo or module detects a loss of continuity and cancels the cruise control set speed. If the brake release switch isn’t working and does not ‘open’, the cruise control will not cancel via the brake switch. If the switch will not ‘close’ the circuit, the cruise control will not set in the first place.

Keep in mind:

If the cruise control brake release switch fails, it is still possible to turn the cruise control off by pressing the steering wheel cancel or off button.
A burned out brake light can "backfeed" power, which may cause the same error as a faulty brake release switch. Always have your brake lights checked first if your cruise control will not operate.

How it's done:

The cruise control brake release switch is verified that it needs to be replaced. Trim panels above the brake pedals are removed to access the switch.
The defective cruise control brake release switch is disconnected from vacuum line and removed.
The new cruise control brake release switch is installed, secured and reconnected to the vacuum line.
Trim panels are reinstalled. The cruise control brake release switch is tested for operation
The vehicle is road tested to ensure proper operation of the cruise control and the cruise control brake release switch.

Our recommendation:

It is common for a burned out brake light bulb to cause the cruise control to not set, so if the cruise control is inoperative, have the brake lights checked first. The brake release switch does not require any maintenance and will last the vehicle's lifetime in many instances; however, it can fail just like any other electrical component. Have the cruise control checked and repaired by one of our expert technicians if stops working.

What common symptoms indicate you may need to replace the Cruise Control Brake Release Switch?

Cruise control will not set
Cruise control cuts out when driving at times
Difficult to disengage cruise control when pressing the brake pedal

How important is this service?

Cruise control is a convenience item and is not necessary for the safe operation of your vehicle. If the cruise control isn’t working, have it repaired at your convenience.

Cadillac STS V6-3.6L - Oil Change - Sugar Land, Texas

Breck was on time for my appointment and was extremely friendly and professional. I have an extremely busy schedule so having the convenience of someone coming to my home is a major plus for me. He complete the job in an hour so my day was not compromise at all. Although I had the estimated time blocked off for the day it was great that the job was completed sooner. I would recommend Breck to anyone that is in need for his services. YourMechanic website is user friendly and provides all the info you need with requesting an appointment. This is my first time using YourMechanic and things went well. Because of that I will use them/Breck again in the future.

Cadillac STS V6-3.6L - Starter - Houston, Texas

This was my first experience with yourmechanic. My car was not starting, so I booked the "car not starting inspection" with Fred on a Friday. I had a hunch my starter was the issue, but chose the inspection option since I wasn't 100% sure. Upon arrival Fred checked the battery along with a few other items and confirmed my starter was indeed bad. Since I had only booked the inspection Fred was not able to replace it that same day, but advised he would send me the quote and allow me to schedule it with an available mechanic. Just so happens this weekend things were pretty booked up so my appointment ended right back with Fred that Monday. Once again Fred showed up on time and got right to work. He replaced my starter and got me back up and running in no time. I would highly recommend this service and if/when needed I will use again.

Very personable and knowledgeable. Glad that Daniel is the one working on my car and I wouldn't hesitate to use him again. I have already recommended Daniel and this service to my colleagues here at work
