Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Retained Power Operation
When the ignition switch is turned to OFF position from ON or START position, power is supplied for 45 seconds:
- to power window relay terminal 2
- from smart entrance control unit terminal 46
Ground is always supplied:
- to power window relay terminal 1
- through body grounds M9, M25 and M87
When power and ground are supplied, the power window relay continues to be energized, and the power window can be operated.
The retained power operation is canceled when the driver or passenger side door is opened.
RAP signal's period can be changed by CONSULT-II. (Refer to CONSULT-II APPLICATION ITEMS .)
