Relay Control of Retained Accessory Power (RAP)

Retained Accessory Power (RAP) is a vehicle power mode that permits the operation of selected customer convenience items after the ignition switch is turned OFF. These selected items will remain in operation until a passenger compartment door is opened or until the RAP function timer reaches its shut-off limit.

When the RCDLR module is in the RAP function as described above, it closes the RAP relay. This provides power during the RAP period for the following:
^ Power sunroof (if equipped)
^ Radio

The RCDLR module opens the RAP relay to end the RAP function when it ends the RAP function as outlined in the previous text.
