For the BMI160, both the accelerometer and the gyroscope are in suspend mode after a power-on reset. The power current consumption is approximately 3 uA. No settings are required.
You can refer to the BMI160 Datasheet. In the datasheet, there is a reference design that instructs you how to connect the BMI160 to the system.
I suggest you check Registers 0x02 and 0x03 for the sensor status.
