After 10 minutes, the BCM turns off inadvertent power in order to preserve battery power. The 10 minute timer starts after one of the following conditions is present:
^ You turn the ignition from the RUN position or the START position to one of the following positions:

If any of these conditions occur during the timer period, the timer resets to 10 minutes.
