Relay Control of Retained Accessory Power (RAP)
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 GMC Sierra, 2009 GMC Cab & Chassis Sierra, 2009 Chevrolet Silverado, and 2009 Chevrolet Cab & Chassis Silverado. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The body control module (BCM) keeps the internal RAP relay energized during all power modes, except Off-Awake and Crank. The relay is also energized for approximately 10 minutes after shutting the ignition OFF and removing the key, providing no door is opened. The BCM will de-energize the internal RAP relay at the same time the serial data message is sent to end RAP. When the internal RAP relay is energized voltage is applied on the accessory voltage circuit at BCM harness connector X2 terminal 22.
The devices powered by the internal RAP relay during the RAP power mode are as follows:
- Sunroof module - (CF5)
- Mobile radio fuse block, relay A - (9L4)
- Sliding rear window switch - (A48)
- Window switches, driver and passenger - (A31 w/o AN3)
