Normal Operation: Notes

2008 Mazda Tribute s Sport, 4WDSECTION Notes

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 (V/BR). The speed control deactivator switch (closed when the brake pedal is not applied) then routes the voltage to circuit (V/O) 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.
