Keep Alive Power (KAPWR)

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 7 other vehicles, including the 2007 Ford RV Cutaway, 2007 Ford Pickup, 2007 Ford F550 Super Duty, 2007 Ford F450 Super Duty, and 2007 Ford Econoline. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The PCM stores the vehicle operating conditions in the KAM and uses this information to compensate for component variability. The KAPWR circuit supplies a constant battery voltage (B+) input to the PCM to maintain the memory contents when the key is in the OFF position.
