Do not activate any other consumers during the test. A run-on time of the control units of approx. 4 min is to be taken into account run for each measurement.

1 Switch off ignition.
Between switching off the ignition and the quiescent current test at least 30 minutes must have passed so that the in-car temperature sensor fan motor (N70m1) can cut out.

2 Lock vehicle.
After locking wait for at least 4 minutes due to the run-on time of the control units.

3 Check quiescent current: specified current ≤ 35 mA.
4 Unlock vehicle.
After unlocking wait for at least 4 minutes due to the run-on time of the control units.

5 Check quiescent current: specified current ≤ 35 mA.
