IMPORTANT The following parameters are to be observed:

Measurement value < 40 mA: 

This is the value that should be reached after 30 minutes at the latest.

Measurement value 1.2 A to 2.5 A: 

No bus idle; one control unit keeps the entire Class B (interior)

Controller Area Network bus (CAN-B) "awake".

Measurement value 80 mA to 180 mA: 

One control unit is not shutting down and this leads to an increased no-load current.

Another electrical or electronic component, e.g. a switch, could also cause increased no-load current consumption.
