Retained Accessory Power Description and Operation Relay Control

Retained accessory power (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 insert name of power mode module 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 insert name of power mode module module closes the RAP relay. This provides power for the following:

The insert name of power mode module module turns OFF the RAP function and opens the RAP relay when one of the following conditions are met:

Retained Accessory Power Description and Operation Serial and Relay Control

Retained accessory power (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 modules listed below all receive a RAP message from the [insert power mode control] module over the serial data circuits. The [insert power mode control] module monitors the ignition switch position, battery condition and passenger compartment door status to determine whether RAP should be initiated. The [insert power mode control] module then sends a message to the listed modules telling them that they are in RAP power mode. The modules then support the operation of the systems under their control as required by their RAP power mode strategy.

RAP will end when one of the following conditions are met:

The [insert power mode control] module then sends a serial data message to the listed modules ending the RAP function.

The modules receiving serial data messages for RAP functions are:

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.

When the [RAP relay control] module is in the RAP function as described above, it closes the RAP relay. This provides power during the RAP period for the following:

The [RAP relay control] module opens the RAP relay to end the RAP function when it ends the RAP function as outlined in the previous text.
