Inadvertent Load Control

The PZM turns off inadvertent power after ten minutes to preserve battery power. The ten minute timer starts after any one of the following:
1. Ignition is turned from "RUN" or "START" to "UNLOCK," "LOCK" or "ACC."
2. The PZM awakens with ignition in "UNLOCK," "LOCK" or "ACC" and any one of the following are detected:
^ Illuminated Entry is activated
^ Interior Lamps switch "ON"
^ The trunk is opened or Closed
^ Afterblow is activated

If any one of these conditions reoccur during the timer period, the timer is reset to ten minutes.
