Power Requirements

Operating current at the BCM battery terminals should not exceed 75 milliamps while the BCM is awake with ignition "OFF;" 250 milliamps is an approximate normal value with the ignition in "RUN."

The RAP system allows operation of the Power Door Locks, convertible top and radio until a door is opened or 10 minutes has elapsed. When the BCM is asleep, the current should not exceed 3 milliamps (w/UA6), or 2 milliamps (without UA6). The BCM goes asleep after the ignition is shut "OFF" and 10 minutes has elapsed. Operating current drawn by the IGN 1 and IGN 3 terminals of the BCM should not exceed 15 milliamps. Refer to SECTION 6D1 for more details on BCM current draw in various awake and asleep conditions. For most BCM functions, the BCM will operate properly with a system voltage of 9-16 volts.
