  1. Shift to the sleep mode:

    Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0), open and close the driver's door. If the MICU receives no signals from the inputs listed below, it will go into sleep mode in less than 40 seconds.

    Hazard warning switch (OFF)
    Hatch glass opener switch (OFF)
    Driver's door hatch grass opener switch (OFF)
  2. Confirm the sleep mode:
    NOTE: Check for any official Honda service website for mor service information about parasitic draw at the battery.

    Check the parasitic draw at the battery while shifting into the sleep mode; amperage should change from about 200 mA to less than 35 mA in less that 50 seconds.

  3. Shift to the wake up mode:

    When the ignition switch is turned to ON (II), the MICU, and all B-CAN system components wake up. When any switch in the multiplex integrated control system is turned on, a message is sent to the related control unit(s) to command the desired function. After confirming the sleep mode, look in the following table for the switch most related to the problem. Operate that switch and see if its control unit wakes up.

    NOTE: If any control unit is faulty and will not wake up, several circuits in the system will malfunction at the same time. In the table, the control unit is followed by a list of the switches and input signals that can wake it up.
