Launch Control won't activate

Post by Rx7lee »

I have launch control set to Digital Switched in 2. I've tried grounding it to multiple points that I know are good grounds, but the Launch control light will not turn on. It's enabled in TunerStudios. I've tried different throttle positions, still won't turn on the launch light. This is all key on, engine off just to check wiring. Am I doing something wrong, or does the engine have to be running to activate launch control (even just the light)? Any help would be great. Thanks

I also tried a Digital Frequency and it didn't make any difference. I'm already using the Analog Inputs for other things, so I can't use them...I just can't figure out why it's not working. Good to know I'm not the only one with this issue! I was starting to think my luck was just bad...hopefully Matt or somebody will be able to tell us what we're doing wrong.

I know you have to use a digital switch. So that's right. I just don't know why I can't test it

Engine needs to be running, or at least rpm input from something like a jimstim
