Battery Saver

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 Mercury Milan, 2011 Lincoln MKZ, and 2011 Ford Fusion. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE: Time-out is 1 minute if the vehicle has less than 80 km (50 miles).

The SJB provides automatic shut-off of some system controlled components after a time-out period in order to save battery voltage. A timer in the SJB is started when the ignition is turned OFF and all the doors are closed. When 10 minutes have elapsed, the voltage is automatically shut off by the SJB. While the SJB has voltage disabled, if the ignition changed out of OFF, any door becomes ajar, the UNLOCK button of the RKE transmitter is pressed, a valid keypad code is entered, or the instrument panel dimmer switch is pressed, the SJB restores voltage and starts the timer again.
