Firebird V8-350 5.7L VIN P SFI (1996)
Accessory Delay Module: Description and Operation
The Retained Accessory Power (RAP) System is designed to increase convenience and provide increased security. This System will remain operational
for approximately 10 minutes after the Ignition Switch is turned to "OFF" or until a door is opened. The system will also be operational with Ignition
Switch "OFF" whenever a door is open, or for approximately 35 seconds after both doors are closed.
The Body Control Module (BCM) will allow the Retained Accessory Power (RAP) subsystem to enable the Power Door Locks and Hatch Release
operation (from Remote Control Door Lock Transmitter) with the Ignition Switch in "OFF" whenever either door is open or for 35 seconds after both
doors are closed. If Universal Theft Deterrent System (UTD) (w/UA6) is armed before the 35 second timeout, the unlock command will be disabled. All
components in these circuits will be enabled as long as the Ignition Switch is in "ACCY" or "RUN." After the Ignition Switch is turned to "OFF" and
both doors remain closed, the components in these circuits will be enabled for approximately 10 minutes. If either door opens, the 10 minute timer
cancels, and the components remain enabled as long as a door is opened.
RADIO FUSE 17 AND WINDOWS CIRCUIT BREAKER 15 OPERATION
The Retained Accessory Power (RAP) System will enable the Radio, Power Windows and Convertible Top to operate whenever the Ignition Switch is in
"ACCY" or "RUN." After the Ignition Switch is turned to "OFF" and both doors remain closed, the Radio, Power Windows and Convertible Top will be
enabled for approximately 10 minutes. If either door opens, these components will be disabled immediately.
