"Brake applied - Reduced power" during linelock

[135Hoser]

Just fucking around, enabled line lock mode.

Push and held Okay, Firmly held brake pedal, Floored it. A few seconds in it says "brake applied - reduced power" and the car disabled my gas pedal, even though my foot was well off the brake. I had like 15 seconds where pushing the gas pedal did nothing. applied brakes again, and then I seemed to get my gas pedal back.

Only has happened during line lock, but thats also the only time I've ever pushed the brake pedal that hard.

I did a couple line lock burnouts a few weeks back and this didn't happen. I saw someone say they got an ABS update, but I'm not sure my car got that.

Any thoughts besides the absolute worst choice of "go see the dealer" ?

you are only supposed to hold the brake when starting the line lock. if you held the brake and accelerator at the same time, you triggered a safety feature called "Brake Over Accelerator", which is intended to help in the unlikely event the accelerator gets stuck on. like the message said, it reduces vehicle power in order to help get the vehicle safely stopped in such an event. the more the accelerator is applied, the more sensitive the feature is. you can disable BOA by switching to track or drag strip mode if i remember right

Okay thank you for clarifying. I thought I was to keep the brake pedal firmly depressed during the entirety of the 15s countdown.

Kinda like auto/hill hold but in reverse (not actually backwards but rather front clamps and rear releases and after set time front releases) ?

Under different circumstances (ie, not line lock) I’ve actually gotten the message once while clearly in track mode with all nannies turned off. Hoping it was a one time fluke because I too would rather have a root canal than take my car in.
