A vehicle anti-theft method (10) for use in a vehicle having an internal combustion engine (12), an engine controller (22), and a memory (32) is provided. The memory (32) includes a data page. The engine controller (22) is configured to operate the engine in a plurality of different modes (112,116,120 and 122) including a theft protection armed mode that limits engine output while allowing the engine to run. The method includes receiving an arm password (62), and changing the engine operation mode to the theft protection armed mode when the received arm password matches a stored password. The engine controller (22), in the theft protection armed mode, limits engine output but allows the engine to run at idle. Further, the method includes logging anti-theft audit information including the mode change to the data page. |
