Brake Light Switch

The brake light switch provides input to the LSZ for brake light control. The switch provides a B+ signal when the brakes are applied. The switch is also monitored by the LSZ for faults.

The brake light switch provides a low voltage digital signal to the LSZ when the brake lights are not actuated. If this signal is interrupted the LSZ interprets this as a faulty brake light switch and initiates emergency mode.
