One of which is to signal that the brakes are applied so that the PCM knows to unlock the converter clutch (cc for short). Hooked up the scanner, and sure enough, the brake switch showed the pedal was pushed on the scanner. It's a separate part of the switch, so the brake lights work fine. Changed out the $15 switch, and now the cc locks as it should.
At least it wasn't you. My '91 C1500 was doing that, too... I was driving around in Drive. DUH!
