Interior Lighting






Vehicles may be equipped with either a General Electronic Module (GEM) or a Central Timer Module (CTM) depending on vehicle options.
^ Vehicles with no power group option will be equipped with a CTM.

RAP Module
The Remote Anti-theft Personality (RAP) module sends a signal to the GEM on the illuminated entry request circuit to indicate a request to turn the illuminated entry feature on or off. Circuit 1013 (BR/LG) is normally sent 12 volts by the GEM. The RAP module shorts this circuit to ground with a pulse of either of the following lengths:
^ 200 ms pulse from RAP receiver assembly requests illuminated entry ON (unlock button pressed).
^ 300 ms pulse from RAP receiver assembly requests illuminated entry OFF (lock button pressed).

GEM Sleep Mode
The GEM and the CTM sleep mode deactivates all outputs to conserve battery power. Sleep mode is entered when the ignition has not entered the RUN or ACC position and 45 minutes has elapsed since the last wake-up input was received. In this mode, GEM current consumption is reduced to 5.0 mA or less. During sleep mode the GEM monitors the following wake-up inputs:
^ Both front door switches.
^ Both illuminated entry switches.
^ Ignition switch in the key-in, ACC and RUN position.
^ RAP illuminated entry request.
