Circuit Description
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 7 other vehicles, including the 2002 GMC Yukon XL, 2002 GMC Yukon, 2002 Chevrolet Tahoe, 2002 Chevrolet Suburban, and 2002 Chevrolet Avalanche. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The retained accessory power (RAP) function allows selected vehicle functions to operate for 20 minutes after the ignition switch is turned OFF. The body control module (BCM) monitors the ignition switch position, the door jamb switches and the voltage on the RAP relay control circuit. The BCM will command the RAP relay ON by grounding the RAP relay control circuit when all the doors are CLOSED and the ignition switch is switched to the OFF position.
