The retained accessory power (RAP) system allows specific vehicle functions to operate after the ignition is turned OFF for a predetermined time. The RAP relay is located in the body fuse block. The relay switched output feeds the power window circuit breaker within the body fuse block. Relay RAP is controlled by the BCM using inputs from the door ajar switches to determine control of the relay when the ignition is turned OFF. Radio RAP is controlled by a serial data message from the BCM using inputs from the driver door open switch. Refer to Retained Accessory Power (RAP) Description and Operation for more detail on subsystems using RAP.
• | The radio and window RAP function are separate RAP functions controlled by serial data and the specific module. These functions are not effected by the BCM RAP relay circuits. |
• | A short to ground or open/high resistance in the RAP relay switched voltage circuits will cause only part of the RAP functions to be inoperative. Diagnose these symptoms within the respective system sections. |
• | A short to voltage on the RAP relay control or switched voltage circuits would cause the RAP function to remain on past the designated time. |
• | A stuck relay switch could cause a RAP always on, or a RAP inoperative condition. |

Important: Battery voltage must remain above 9.6 V for RAP to operate properly.
⇒ | If the courtesy lamp operation is incorrect from the drivers door, refer to Courtesy Lamps Malfunction . |
⇒ | If any parameter does not change as specified, refer to Courtesy Lamps Malfunction . |
⇒ | If the parameter does not respond as specified, replace the BCM. |
⇒ | If greater than specified, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance. |
⇒ | If the test lamp remains ON at all times, test the relay coil control circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM. |
⇒ | If the test lamp remains OFF at all times, test the relay coil control circuit for a short to ground or open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM. |
⇒ | If the test lamp illuminates, test the relay output circuits for a short to voltage: |
⇒ | If the resistance is not within the specified range, replace the relay. |
