NOTE:
Time-out is 10 seconds if the vehicle is in factory mode or 1 minute if the vehicle is in transport mode.
The BCM provides automatic shut-off of the courtesy and demand lamps after a time-out period when the ignition is off. When 10 minutes (30 minutes for demand lamps) have elapsed, the BCM automatically shuts off voltage to the lamps. A timer in the BCM starts/restarts (voltage is restored if the BCM is in battery saver mode) when:
- the ignition transitions to OFF.
- the front or rear interior lamp was switched ON.
- any door becomes ajar.
- any button of a RKE transmitter is pressed.
- a door is unlocked using the passive entry feature.
- a valid code was entered on the keyless entry keypad.
