IOD FUSE
DESCRIPTION
All vehicles are equipped with an Ignition-Off
Draw (IOD) fuse that is disconnected within the
Junction Block when the vehicle is shipped from the
factory. Dealer personnel are to reconnect the IOD
fuse in the junction block as part of the preparation
procedures performed just prior to new vehicle deliv-
ery.
The left end of the instrument panel cover has a
snap-fit fuse access panel that can be removed to pro-
vide service access to the fuses in the junction block.
An adhesive-backed fuse layout map is secured to the
instrument panel side of the access panel to ensure
proper fuse identification. The IOD fuse is a 15
ampere mini blade-type fuse, located in fuse cavity #
19.

OPERATION

The term ignition-off draw identifies a normal con-
dition where power is being drained from the battery
with the ignition switch in the Off position. The IOD
fuse feeds the memory and sleep mode functions for
some of the electronic modules in the vehicle as well
as various other accessories that require battery cur-
rent when the ignition switch is in the Off position.
The only reason the IOD fuse is disconnected is to
reduce the normal IOD of the vehicle electrical sys-
tem during new vehicle transportation and pre-deliv-
ery storage to reduce battery depletion, while still
allowing vehicle operation so that the vehicle can be
loaded, unloaded and moved as needed by both vehi-
cle transportation company and dealer personnel.
The IOD fuse is disconnected from JB fuse cavity
#19 when the vehicle is shipped from the assembly
plant. Dealer personnel must reconnect the IOD fuse
when the vehicle is being prepared for delivery in
order to restore full electrical system operation. Once
the vehicle is prepared for delivery, the IOD function
of this fuse becomes transparent and the fuse that
has been assigned the IOD designation becomes only
another Fused B(+) circuit fuse.
The IOD fuse can be used by the vehicle owner as
a convenient means of reducing battery depletion
when a vehicle is to be stored for periods not to
exceed about thirty days. However, it must be
remembered that disconnecting the IOD fuse will not
eliminate IOD, but only reduce this normal condition.
If a vehicle will be stored for more than about thirty
days, the battery negative cable should be discon-
nected to eliminate normal IOD; and, the battery
should be tested and recharged at regular intervals
during the vehicle storage period to prevent the bat-
tery from becoming discharged or damaged.
REMOVAL
The Ignition-Off Draw (IOD) fuse is disconnected
from Junction Block fuse cavity # 19 when the vehi-
cle is shipped from the assembly plant. Dealer per-
sonnel must reconnect the IOD fuse when the vehicle
is being prepared for delivery in order to restore full
electrical system operation.
(1) Turn the ignition switch to the Off position.
