Thread: Car is still in the on position when switched off, ideas?

Started happening after I installed the map sensor yesterday best I can tell. Installed it per aems instructions

The car, or the key is in the "on" position?

What do you mean by "switched off"?

When the key is out of the ignition and the car obviously off, its like the key is turned to the on position (the one right before the starter kicks in) like it would be when you go to let the fuel pump prime.

Does it ever turn off?

There is setting for the main relay in the EMS which has a delay for how long it stays on after you turn the key off.

It did it earlier today, like it switched off after a few hours. Not sure how long it was though. I checked it on break and it was still on and that was like 2.5 hours after I got there I think? But by the time I was done, 8 hours it was off.

I'll look for this setting. Maybe you can help me out while I look around though?

That definitely doesn't add up then.

But check this setting.

Here is my main relay control options.

That all looks correct.

Where did you get power and ground for the map sensor?

Try unplugging it and see if the unit powers off normally.

Unplug the MAP sensor or the EMS? (EDIT* Tried unplugging the MAP sensor while this "on" condition existed. No visible change)



That is from the AEM forums found here: http://forum.aempower.com/forum/index.php/topic,21882.0.html
