Put PMs to Sleep

This utility program sets the PM sleep and wake dates for all PMs, for a range of vehicles. Any existing sleep and wake information for PMs in the specified range will be overwritten with the new information from this utility. PMs not flagged as Sleep Mode Enabled will be skipped. Once the utility has been run, all sleep enabled PMs will be put to sleep and awakened on the specified dates. For more information about the PM sleep feature, refer to "Preventive Maintenance" under the set up a PM Schedule.
