I used to be a computer engineer working on embedded systems for automobiles. Quiescent current is what the normal proper draw is called for these systems when the car is off. We worked very hard getting these numbers in spec but it was hard to catch everything especially in this case where the issue is probably due to software missing the sleep state for that module. This could be from bad code or your CAN/LIN bus is messed up in your car. 99% of mechanics (and engineers) have no idea where to start with debugging these issues and the answer will be "replace the module".

If the car had been operational for years and years, why would bad code crop its head now?

Some counter finally overflowed. And now the new value is less than the old one, which breaks something, etc, etc.
