Normal Operation
The delayed accessory feature allows the power windows, radio and roof opening panel (if equipped) to function for up to 10 minutes after the ignition is turned off or until any door is opened. The delayed accessory function is controlled by the lighting control module (LCM). The LCM, when awake, supplies a ground for the accessory delay relay coil through circuit 194 (PK). When the ignition switch is turned from on to off, the LCM begins the timing sequence. If a door is opened, the LCM turns off the accessory delay function. If the ignition switch is turned to another position, the LCM also cancels the delayed accessory function.

Possible Causes
- circuit 193 (YE/LG) short to voltage
- circuit 194 (PK) short to ground
- accessory delay relay
- LCM
