What happens when the Battery Saver relay is deactivated?

What happens when the Battery Saver relay is deactivated?

Five minutes after the battery saver relay has become deactivated, the GEM will go into a lower power state known as sleep mode. In the sleep mode, the GEM will deactivate all outputs and will monitor select inputs. Sleep/Awake mode status. Battery saver relay control (Open circuit in sleep mode, grounded when awake). Thanks, Ron.

When do you turn off the Battery Saver?

The battery saver will remain active until the ignition state is not ACC or RUN and 45 minutes have passed since last active input. At that time, the relay will be deactivated and power to the above circuits will terminate.

When does the battery saver on a gem go off?

Intior lamp coil. The battery saver relay becomes active (relay coil is energized) when the GEM is in awake mode and is deactivated (relay coil is de-energized) in sleep mode. The battery saver will remain active until the ignition state is not ACC or RUN and 45 minutes have passed since last active input.

When does the key off battery go off?

When the ignition switch is in the START position, battery voltage should be present at the GEM/CTM start/clutch depressed input. The 45 minute time is in part of the GEM module. The GEM module does not have an OFF or LOCK Switch State input. The GEM will assume the OFF or LOCK position when there are no RUN, ACC, or START signals present.

What are the symptoms of a bad ECM power relay?

A bad relay may cause the vehicle to crank, but not start, or sometimes not even crank at all. 3. Battery drain or dead battery. A failed ECM power relay can also cause a battery drain or dead battery. If the relay shorts it can leave power on to the computer, even when the vehicle is turned off.

Intior lamp coil. The battery saver relay becomes active (relay coil is energized) when the GEM is in awake mode and is deactivated (relay coil is de-energized) in sleep mode. The battery saver will remain active until the ignition state is not ACC or RUN and 45 minutes have passed since last active input.
