Launch Control

Launch Control explained — how it works, related DTCs and how Softechpro does it with automatic checksum correction.

What is Launch Control?

Launch Control adds a two-step/standing-start RPM hold so you can build boost off the line — a motorsport feature added in the ECU map. Softechpro applies it directly in the ECU calibration and recalculates the checksum & CVN automatically, so the file is flash-ready.
