CapSense Output Low?

I am still not sure what you mean by turn it off.
The sensor does not consume any power so messing about with the pin modes is not going to get you anywhere.

If you do not read the sensor, the

total1 =  cs_4_2.capacitiveSensor(30);

bit then is than not the same as the sensor being off?

Not reading the sensor is the same as turning it off.
