The following diagnosis might be helpful if the vehicle exhibits the symptom(s) described in this PI.
Condition/Concern
Customer may comment that after turning the ignition off and opening the driver’s door that they can turn the
radio on.
Recommendation/Instructions
Radio Operation:
– The radio will work when the key is in ON/RUN or ACC/ACCESSORY. Once the key is turned from ON/RUN to
LOCK/OFF, the radio will continue to work for 10 minutes or until the driver's door is opened.
– The radio can then be turned back on after Retained Accessory Power (RAP) has been canceled by simply
pressing the power button on the radio. Once the radio is turned on this way, opening the driver's door will not turn
the radio off; it stays on for about 10 minutes.
Note: Certain radios can stay on longer than 10 minutes if there are any additional inputs; such as pressing a preset
button. Any radio input may reset the 10 minute timer. When the radio turns off after the 10 minutes it can be turned
back on by pressing the power button.
The radio can be turned off at any time by pressing the power button.
Please follow this diagnostic or repair process thoroughly and complete each step. If the condition exhibited is
resolved without completing every step, the remaining steps do not need to be performed.
