Circuit/System Description
Retained accessory power (RAP) permits the operation of some devices after the ignition switch is turned OFF. These selected items will remain in operation until any of the front passenger doors is opened or until the RAP function timer reaches its shut-off limit, which is 10 minutes. The instrument panel module (IPM) monitors the ignition mode signal from the ignition mode switch, battery condition and the front doors status to determine whether RAP should be initiated.
