Battery Rundown Protection/Inadvertent Power

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2019 Buick Cascada, 2018 Buick Cascada, and 2017 Buick Cascada. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The BCM inadvertent power supply voltage circuit provides battery voltage to all of the interior courtesy lamps. In the event that any of these lamps were to remain illuminated for a period of more than 10 minutes with the ignition switch in the OFF position, the BCM will deactivate the inadvertent power supply voltage circuit to prevent total battery discharge. If the ignition switch is turned to any position other than OFF, or if a lamp switch is activated during this 10 minute period, the timer resets for another 10 minutes.
