Pinpoint Test H: The Delayed Accessory is Inoperative - Will Not Stay On For 10 Minutes

Refer to appropriate SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAMS article, Power Windows for schematic and connector information.

Normal Operation 

The delayed accessory feature allows the power windows, radio and roof opening panel (if equipped) to function for up to 10 minutes after the ignition is turned OFF or until any door is opened. The delayed accessory function is controlled by the lighting control module (LCM). The LCM, when awake, supplies a ground for the accessory delay relay coil through circuit 194 (PK). When the ignition switch is turned from ON to OFF, the LCM begins the timing sequence. If a door is opened, the LCM turns off the accessory delay function. If the ignition switch is turned to another position, the LCM also cancels the delayed accessory function.

This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:

• Accessory delay relay
• Wiring, terminals or connectors
• LCM

PINPOINT TEST H: THE DELAYED ACCESSORY IS INOPERATIVE - WILL NOT STAY ON FOR 10 MINUTES 

1. H1 CHECK THE ACCESSORY DELAY INPUT AT THE LCM 
   NOTE: The key should be cycled by reaching through the driver side window.
   • Open the driver window and close all doors.
   • Disconnect: Accessory Delay Relay
   • Key in ON position.
   • Key in OFF position.

   • Measure the resistance between accessory delay relay pin 85, circuit 194 (PK), harness side and ground.
   • Wait 10 minutes.
   • Is the resistance less than 60 ohms for 10 minutes, then cycle to greater than 10,000 ohms? 
   1. YES  : The system is operating normally at this time.
   2. NO  : Go to  H2.
2. H2 CHECK THE LCM FOR DTCs 
   NOTE: If unable to communicate with the LCM, go to MODULE COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK article.
   • Retrieve and record LCM self-test and continuous DTCs.
   • Are any LCM DTCs recorded? 
   1. YES  : REFER to MULTIFUNCTION ELECTRONIC MODULES article to continue diagnosis.
   2. NO  : Go to  H3.
3. H3 CHECK FOR CORRECT LCM OPERATION 
   • Disconnect all LCM connectors.
   • Check for:
     • corrosion.
     • pushed-out pins.
   • Connect all LCM connectors and make sure they seat correctly.
   • Operate the system and verify the concern is still present.
   • Is the concern still present? 
   1. YES  : INSTALL a new LCM. REFER to MULTIFUNCTION ELECTRONIC MODULES article. TEST the system for normal operation.
   2. NO  : The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by a loose or corroded connector.
