Inadvertent Load Control

After 10 minutes, the Body Control Module (PZM) 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:
- UNLOCK
- LOCK
- ACC
^ The PZM awakes with ignition in the UNLOCK position, in the LOCK position, or in the ACC position when the PZM detects one of the following conditions:
- The illuminated entry activates.
- The interior lamps switch is ON.
- The trunk opens or closes.
- The afterblow activates.

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