Circuit Operation

Battery voltage to power the RAP/Illuminated Entry Module (RAPIE) is applied to terminal A6 from Fuse B1 through CKT 640 at all times. The RAPIE Module is grounded at terminal A5 through CKT 251 at ground G400. Battery voltage is applied to both RAP Relays coils and contacts at all times.

Enabling
When the ignition is turned to run, voltage from Fuse A11 is applied to the RAPIE Module terminal B1 through CKT 139. This signals the RAPIE Module to energize the two RAP Relays. The module energizes the relays by grounding the relay coils, through CKT 707 at RAP control terminal A4.

When the Trunk Compartment #2 Micro Relay Center's RAP Relay is energized, the relay's contacts close to apply voltage to the Radio or Remote Radio Receiver and the Wiper/Washer Switch through CKT 4 and Fuses B11 and B13. The radio and wipers now can be operated.

When the other RAP Relay energizes, it also closes its contacts but it applies voltage to Circuit Breaker 1 in the RH Maxi(R) Fuse Block. Circuit Breaker 1 supplies battery voltage to the power window switches, Trunk and Fuel Door Release Relays (DeVille/Concours only) and the Astro Roof circuits, allowing these systems to operate.

Disabling
When the Ignition Switch is turned to OFF, voltage is no longer applied to the RAPIE Module's terminal B1. This signals the RAPIE Module to start a timer while keeping the RAP Relays energized. After ten minutes, the module Unground CKT 707 and de-energizes the RAP Relays causing the RAP Relays to de-energize, cutting off power to the accessory circuits.

The RAPIE Module also monitors the position of the doors at terminals A2 and A3. If a door is opened, the door's respective door ajar switch closes, causing the RAPIE Module's door ajar input terminal to be grounded. The RAPIE Module responds by de-energizing the RAP Relays regardless of the time elapsed.

When the Ignition Switch is in START battery voltage is applied to terminal A1 the crank input. The RAPIE Module disables RAP when the voltage at terminal A1 is between 6 and 16 volts.
