Normal Operation

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Mercury Mariner and 2007 Ford Escape. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Voltage for the speed control servo clutch (internal to the speed control actuator) is supplied by the smart junction box (SJB) to the speed control deactivator switch through circuit 1928 (RD/WH). The speed control deactivator switch (closed when the brake pedal is not applied) then routes the voltage to circuit 248 (TN/OG) to the speed control actuator. When the brake pedal is firmly pressed, the speed control deactivator switch opens and voltage is no longer supplied to the speed control servo clutch.
