    Hi. I just put on my car a LPG system. But i have a problem: in order to set the modules for the lpg, they need the car with the termic engine on , on idle.
    How can i do that ?

    Turn the defroster on and raise the temperature to high.

    Maintenance Mode is the correct procedure. The same as disabling traction control.

    The engine will start and not turn off until power is reset.
