The retained accessory power (RAP) feature allows you to operate the following components after the ignition switch is turned from the RUN position to the LOCK position:

    • The power windows
    • The radio

The BCM monitors the following components:

    • The ignition switch position
    • The door jamb switches
    • The voltage on CKT 755

The BCM commands the RAP relay to turn ON by grounding CKT 755. This action is completed when all of the doors are closed and the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position. Once the RAP relay is energized, the accessories remain operational until any one of the following conditions occurs:

    • The 20 minute timer elapses.
    • The driver/passenger door is opened.
    • The ignition switch is activated.
