Retained Accessory Power (RAP) Inoperative (with relay)
| Step | Action | Yes | No |
|---|---|---|---|
| Schematic Reference: MASTER ELECTRICAL COMPONENT LIST in Wiring Systems | |||
| 1 | Did you perform the retained accessory power (RAP) diagnostic system check? | Go to Step 2 | Go to Diagnostic System Check - Retained Accessory Power |
| 2 | Test the following circuits of the bodycontrol module (BCM) for an open or a short to ground:
Refer to the following:
Did you find and correct condition? |
Go to Step 13 | Go to Step 3 |
| 3 |
|
Go to Step 4 | Go to DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM CHECK - LIGHTING SYSTEMS in Lighting Systems |
| 4 | Enable RAP power mode. The radio should operate during the RAP power mode via a class 2 signal from the BCM. Does the radio operate during the 10 minute RAP time period? |
Go to Step 5 | Go to Step 11 |
| 5 | With RAP power mode enabled, test for battery voltage at the control circuit of the RAP relay. Refer to CIRCUIT TESTING
and WIRING REPAIRS
in Wiring Systems. Is battery voltage present? |
Go to Step 6 | Go to Step 8 |
| 6 | Test for battery voltage at the supply side of the RAP relay contacts. Did you locate and repair the fault? |
Go to Step 13 | Go to Step 7 |
| 7 | With RAP power mode enabled, test for a battery voltage supply output, after the relay. Refer to CIRCUIT TESTING
and WIRING REPAIRS
in Wiring Systems. Did you locate and repair the fault? |
Go to Step 13 | Go to Step 10 |
| 8 |
IMPORTANT:
If the BCM has no output at the RAP control terminal test the complete external circuit for a short to ground before replacing parts.
|
Go to Step 9 | Go to Step 11 |
| 9 | Test for a short to ground or an open circuit in the RAP relay control circuit from the BCM to the RAP relay socket. Refer to CIRCUIT TESTING
and WIRING REPAIRS
in Wiring Systems. Did you find and correct the condition? |
Go to Step 13 | Go to Step 10 |
| 10 | Replace the RAP relay. Is the replacement complete? |
Go to Step 13 | - |
| 11 | Inspect for poor connections or terminal damage at the BCM. Refer to TESTING FOR INTERMITTENT CONDITIONS AND POOR CONNECTIONS
and CONNECTOR REPAIRS
and in Wiring Systems. Did you find and correct the condition? |
Go to Step 13 | Go to Step 12 |
| 12 |
IMPORTANT:
Setup and Reprogram the module Replace the BCM. Refer to BODY CONTROL MODULE REPLACEMENT
in Body Control System.Did you complete the replacement? |
Go to Step 13 | - |
| 13 | Enable RAP power mode to verify the repair. Did you correct the condition? |
System OK | Go to Step 1 |
