Question
How to diagnose faulty automotive CAN bus sleep mode in idle vehicles?
Answer
Monitor bus current draw and test sleep mode activation.
Explain
A faulty CAN bus sleep mode drains the battery. CHEPQ tools measure bus current draw (<50mA in sleep mode) and test activation after shutdown—repairing the gateway or modules ensures proper sleep mode and battery preservation.
