How can I induce an engine failure (or other failure)?

I have FSX SP2 and am trying to develop an application using managed code (C#) with the SimConnect library. I am able to connect and check some items.

Now, I want to induce some system failures such as engine failure, pitot failure, etc. However, when I look at the SimVars documentation it says those are NOT settable.

So, how on earth do I induce a system failure if I cannot write to it?
