Remote Anti-Theft Personality (RAP) Module

The Remote Anti-theft Personality (RAP) module sends a signal to the GEM on the illuminated entry request circuit to indicate a request to turn the illuminated entry feature ON or OFF. Circuit 1013 (BR/LG) is normally sent 12 volts by the GEM. The RAP module shorts this circuit to ground with a pulse of either of the following lengths:
^ 200 ms pulse from RAP receiver assembly request illuminated entry ON.
^ 300 ms pulse from the RAP module receiver assembly request illuminated OFF.

The illuminated entry feature is another feature which activates the interior lamps. The GEM illuminates the interior lamps when either front door handle is lifted or an unlock signal is received from the RAP module. The illuminated entry feature will be canceled when any of the following conditions are met:
^ 25 seconds have elapsed since the illuminated entry feature was activated and the interior lamp control is not activated.
^ The GEM receives a request from the RAP module (remote transmitter lock button pressed) and the courtesy lamp control is not activated.
^ The ignition is in the RUN or START position and the interior lamp control is not activated.

The illuminated entry inputs are:
^ Door open warning lamp switch (grounded when the handle is lifted; an open circuit when the handle is released).
^ Ignition switch in the key-in, ACCY and RUN position.
^ RAP illuminated entry request.

The GEM sleep mode outputs are:
^ NONE. (All circuits are deactivated during sleep mode.)

If a change in any of the above inputs occur while the GEM is asleep, the GEM will wake up and monitor all of its inputs and have the ability to activate any of its outputs.
