[Shop-talk] Turn the engine off

[Moose]

John,

If I'm understanding what you are asking, you need to run the car in 
'accessory mode' only.  That means all systems on, but the engine isn't 
running.

Normally, in keyless cars, you just hit the 'start' button without 
pressing the brake.  The same thing to shut off this mode.

I don't know if that is what you are asking, if not, let me know.

I've just run into this problem twice now in the last month.  I have a ODB 
II scanner, a Actron CP9680 I bought back in 2021.  A couple of weeks ago 
I tried to read the codes on a late model KIA and to day on a 2018 
Cadillac. 

When I plugged the scanner in to both cars, it displayed turn the engine 
off.

Well both of these cars had keyless ignitions.  So does anyone know how do 
you turn off the ignition on a keyless system?

JohnT,
