Launch Control

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 Ford Mustang. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The launch control system is controlled through the use of the launch control switch in the ride control switch pack and through the message center. When the launch control switch is pressed, a voltage signal is sent to the PCM. The PCM sends a message to the IPC over the HS-CAN indicating that the driver has requested launch control system activation. The driver then configures the launch control system through the message center, see the Owner's Literature for specific information. The launch control system will only activate when the AdvanceTrac® system is enabled or in Sport mode. Once activated, the launch control system will remain ON until the driver deactivates it, the system will not reset when the ignition is cycled.
