Retained Accessory Power (RAP) Power Mode
RAP is a vehicle power mode that permits the operation of selected customer
convenience items after the ignition switch is turned OFF. These selected
items will remain in operation until a passenger compartment door is opened
or until the RAP function timer reaches its shut-off limit.
The BCM turns OFF the RAP function and de-energizes the RAP relay when one
of the following conditions are met:
| • | The BCM senses the opening of any door or the liftgate. |
| • | The BCM detects a decrease in battery capacity below a prescribed limit. |
| • | The BCM receives a message from its internal timer indicating the end
of the RAP period after 20 minutes. |
| • | The transition from OFF to RUN/ON on the ignition switch. |
The body control module monitors the ignition switch position, battery condition
and passenger compartment door status to determine whether RAP should be initiated.
If the ignition switch transitions from RUN/ON to OFF, the battery level
is within the acceptable range and the passenger compartment doors are closed,
the body control module energizes the RAP relay. This provides power for the
following:
| • | Power Window Control Switches |
| • | Power door lock Control Switches |
| • | Steering Wheel Control Switches |
| • | Outside Rearview Mirror Switch |
