Hello everyone! It's been a while since I've last posted since I've sold my LS, but luck has it that I stumbled upon another with lower miles and better condition. However for the past few days I am noticing that while I lightly tap the brake pedal to slow down just a bit while coasting down the highway, the RPMs would just dip and shoot back up again. I do have the CEL on for Bank 1 sensor 2 o2 sensor, and brake pedal switch input (secondary brake switch).

Attached is a video, you can see the drop and increase toward the ending. Is this something normal that I just haven't noticed before? I don't recall this happening on my other LS.

If your brake switch or brake switch input isn't working, then the PCM won't know to unlock the torque converter as you start to brake. I can see that causing a drop in engine speed till it gets low enough for the PCM to take action anyway.
