Constantly Active CAN B

CAN B needs to go into a dormant state when the ignition

switch is in the 0 position. EIS is the control unit in charge of
activation and deactivation of the CAN B.

If a control unit in the CAN B keeps sending a signal the EIS

will not request the CAN B to go into a dormant state.

How can we determine if the CAN B has not gone into a

dormant state?
a. Monitor CAN B activity with an oscilloscope
b. Monitor CAN B voltage
