  1. Check for voltage on driver's and passenger's multiplex control units wake-up communication line (Pink/Blue wire). If sleep mode is off, voltage on communication line will be zero. If sleep mode is on, battery voltage will be present on communication line.
  2. Measure voltage between each multiplex control unit communication line and ground. See IDENTIFYING COMMUNICATION LINE & LINE VOLTAGE table. There should be zero volts at each communication line when changing to sleep mode.
  3. Check parasitic draw at battery while changing to sleep mode. Parasitic draw should change from 100 milliamps to less than 100 milliamps.
