weird. are you doing everything in the order that I stated above? you are getting the yellow flag right? If you're getting the yellow flag and it isn't launching then something isn't right.

I differ from you. I have done it doing all the steps in a random way and it always work.

He probably got some programming issues, but he's able to do it when not pressing the accelerator pass the resistance point.

Regarding the DTC, there are two options for launch:

The traditional flag thingy, and without the flag.

Just turn off the traction control (fully off) and do the same thing, the car will rev up to 6,000rpm and hold on tight!

I literally copied and pasted the section for the launch control from the manual and emailed it to my phone. I am getting the yellow flag but like I said if I have the gas pedal still pressed beyond the resistance point and release the brake it does not launch...

I'm going to try it again when it's not raining out... so once the flag comes on you can let go of the brake?

If by any chance you let go of the accelerator it will cancel the launch.

Just let go off the brake, and off you go
