T-Brake/Launch

Transbrake and launch control: activation, launch pressures, torque reduction during a launch and the RPM window.

29 parameters: 21 documented, 8 covered by a family note.

29 parameters

Active T-Brake/Launch in automatic mode

# 0x16E6
Off in every base map: by default the trans-brake only works in manual programs (Program Selector AUTO = 0). This flag also allows it in automatic programs; use with care.

T-Brake/ Launch Max RPM

# 0x3D95 1×1
RPM ceiling while staged on the trans-brake or launch: above it the TCU activates torque reduction. This is the launch rev limit you build boost against.
Launch control needs an ECU-side launch limiter or the engine revs free. The trans-brake does not; the locked box is the limiter.
