Left in drive and turned engine off.

Why leaving it in drive is a mystery - for now.

People get distracted - it happens. Thus - autopark
Try going back and forth between and EV, a stick and an automatic and see how that works. That's not an insult, just a serious comment on another way this stuff happens.
More common than you think.
My son went from his EV to my JT and pulled into a parking spot and simply got out. Why? Because his car detects the person in the seat - and handles thing for them.
You know about muscle memory. And for some people all it takes is one thing happening out of order for any reason - they are on to the next step of getting out. It autoparks, sits there running, and they are quiet.

Both batteries need to be disconnected. This should "kill" the memory.

but there's a lot of people out there unaware of how exactly to accomplish that........

So in case the OP isn't aware (and for lurkers) - take the negative off the main battery,
take the two black cables apart from each other - do NOT let them touch anything!
Remove the positive cable from the main battery.
That isolates both batteries from the vehicle and each other.
As long as the two black cables at the main battery are connected, the auxiliary battery is grounded, and in the system.

Been through all this. And to add insult I can't get the local jeep dealer service department to even call me back. When you call the young lady ask for your name and number and say they will call you back. They don't. I don't want to ask questions, I just want them to come get it and fix it

Roll back is on its way. Going to a different dealership that will answer the phone and will call you back. Thanks everyone. I tried them all with no success.

Yep. Whenever I drive my wife's atlas, the auto start/stop kicks in just like my JT.
however, the engine starts when you shift JT to park which basically reminds you to shut it off. The atlas, it stays off when you shift to park. I've gotten out of the car a few times without shutting it off.

Obviously different than op problem, but point is the difference in how these cars behave does lead to oopsies

Will do. I just hope the Service
Department tells the truth and no give me a lot of run around and say crap like it needs a new transmission and such. Personally I think it just needs the default codes cleared.

Here is the question I have ,
If I buy a new or used transmission(out of another Gladiator)and stuck it in myself, would I need a starscan or will a JScan do the relearn on the TCM so that the PCM "See's" it ??? My Uncle has a Garage and has offered to help me slap the new (or slightly used) transmission in .

JSCAN should be able to do that. At least it did with earlier Jeep models.

So it looks like it can trigger a learn........

In order to do any of those recal/relearn/quick learn, phazer cleaning, etc etc. functions, an FCA SGW license needs to be purchased. The “bypass” cable doesn’t get you around the basic diagnostic abilities to do all these freaky things. The tool I use is the MUCAR/THINKCAR CDE900 pro and the FCA SGW unlock license is purchased (annual subscription) through the diagnostic tool.

However, I enjoy the right and privilege of being completely wrong and maybe the JSCAN/Taser just gives you that unfettered FCA unlock access for free.

That's odd because on the JSCAN FB pages, Jeep owners talk of doing this sort of thing all the time and it's in their documentation.

The transmission module relearn doesn't need any license - I've found posts where people have done that after some large changes or issues with harsh or poor shifting.

there's a lot you can do without a "license". It's not unlike running the cooling fan through a check cycle which is how I keep my JT HVAC working and the engine cooled with the plow on, while on the highway. It's actually a test process.
All that the phaser cleaning does is run them back and forth, forcing oil in and out.

I ran across the JSCAN module reset functions, as well as the TCM relearn while scouting out other things like increasing idle speed while winching, that sort of thing.

I'm not sure exactly how it works, but there's also a function in there to tell the ACC to relearn/adapt!
The only reason I'd see a need for any license is if you were leaving the firewall connected, not bypassed, and using the standard OBD port.

EDIT - AlfaOBD will do the transmission control module relearn. Ran across talk of that in the Dodge forums, and other places.

Wow so I can do this looks like sure appreciate the info. ,I am just trying to be thrifty about this and not have to involve the dealership.
