Default TCC/Brake Switch Signal - what does it do?

TCC/Brake Switch Signal

I cut this wire wile removing wires for race wiring. Does this affect anything besides cruise control. Is this wire needed for anything else? This is the only TCC wire I cut.

Converter lockup.

To be more specific, the converter may not UNlock on decel... I'm not sure, don't have any wiring diagrams with me.

I'll be even more specific.


There are two Connectors on this Switch, that two-wire Connector on that Switch goes directly to the PCM. There is a PINK 12v IGN coming into it, and a BLU/BLK STRIPE wire coming out going to the Dash Connectors under the Passengers Kick Panel and eventually to the PCM. This is what UNLOCKS the Convertor when you hit the Brakes. If you have this cut, the Convertor will never lock, since the circuit is broken.

The Cruise Switch is a seperate Switch on the Pedal above this Switch.

Okay, so tell if this is correct: I need to plug that connector back in. this is the one that has 4 pins, but I only need to use the first or last 2 correct? one will go to ignition + and the other will go to the pcm where I cut it?

There is also the cruise control release if you are using a cruise control.

This is not my pic, but one I found. I only need the left two to be hooked up for lockup correct? One side to 12v and one side to the tcc brake wire. I don't care for cruise control or anything else. This car is race only.
