Parasitic Load

TYPICAL PARASITIC LOADS




Typical parasitic load for this vehicle is 10-15 mA. If vehicle does not have one of the following components, then subtract parasitic load of component for typical parasitic load of vehicle (10-15 mA) to determine parasitic load range for vehicle being tested.

IMPORTANT: During CD changer initialization, parasitic current draw will fluctuate between 3mA - 1A. The initialization period lasts up to a maximum of 90 seconds. After initialization, the CD changer parasitic current draw will stabilize at approximately 3 mA.

If the CD changer door is open and the light is illuminated, the parasitic current draw will be approximately 65 mA. The light will remain on for 2 minutes. After the light goes out, the CD changer parasitic current draw will stabilize at approximately 3 mA.
