Battery Run Down Protection/Inadvertent Power
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Cadillac CTS. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
To provide battery run down protection, the interior lamps will be deactivated automatically under certain conditions. The rear integration module (RIM) initiates a 10 minute timer if the interior lamp relay control output is still active, and the ignition switch is in the OFF position. The RIM timer is set to 3 minutes until the vehicle mileage is above 22.5 KM (14 miles). At the end of the designated time, the RIM will deactivate the interior lamp relay, disabling the interior lamps. This feature will be cancelled if any power mode other than OFF becomes active. The RIM will reset the timer if any interior lamp switch is turned on, a door is opened, or the RCDLR module is activated.
