Camaro V8-5.7L VIN G (1998)
IMPORTANT
^
If aftermarket equipment is installed on any circuit(s) for the Retained Accessory Power (RAP) System and a problem exists with the Retained
Accessory Power System operation, disconnect the aftermarket equipment and retest.
^
These diagnostic procedures assume related fuse(s) or circuit breaker(s) and the circuitry to their related components are all good.
System Diagnosis
Perform the System Check and refer to the Symptom Table for the appropriate diagnostic procedures.
Troubleshooting Hints
PERFORM BEFORE BEGINNING SYSTEM DIAGNOSIS
1. Check for Body Control Module DTCs. Refer to Body Control Module. See: Relays and Modules - Powertrain Management/Relays and
Modules - Computers and Control Systems/Body Control Module
2. Check WINDOWS Circuit Breaker and RADIO Fuse 17 for an open. If open, replace fuse or circuit breaker. If fuse blows again or circuit breaker
reopens, use schematics and DVM to check suspect power circuit for a short to ground potential, either through a faulty component or wiring.
3. Check for poor connections at C200 terminals "C1" and "C6."
4. Check that G200 is clean and tight.
^
Check for a broken (or partially broken) wire inside of the insulation which could cause system malfunction but prove "GOOD" in a
continuity/voltage check with a system disconnected. These circuits may be intermittent or resistive when loaded, and if possible, should be
checked by monitoring for a voltage drop with the system operational (under load).
^
Check for proper installation of aftermarket electronic equipment which may affect the integrity of other systems (Refer to Troubleshooting
Procedures). See: Diagrams/Diagnostic Aids
