Battery positive voltage is provided to the radio from RADIO AMP fuse in the fuse block - right instrument panel (I/P). The radio is grounded to G201. The radio is enabled/disabled by class 2 messages from the body control module (BCM). The BCM also allows for retained accessory power which allows the radio to operate for up to 10 minutes after the ignition is turned off. The radio can only be deactivated by one of the following conditions:

  1. Front door is opened.
  2. The 10 minute timer has elapsed.
  3. Loss of state of health message from the BCM.
