The dash integration module (DIM) monitors and determines the ignition switch status (OFF, ACCESSORY, etc.). When the DIM determines that the ignition switch has been turned to the OFF position, the DIM sends a class 2 serial data message to the radio, drivers door module (DDM), rear integration module (RIM) and cellular telephone module (if equipped) in order to enable the RAP. After approximately 10 minutes the DIM sends another class 2 serial data message in order to disable the RAP.

The DIM receives door status (OPEN, CLOSED) from the DDM by a class 2 serial data line message. When the DIM determines that a passenger compartment door has been opened, the DIM sends out a class 2 serial data message in order to disable the RAP, regardless of the elapsed time.
