2025 CT5-V
When entering launch control on my 2025 I get a message saying conditions not met. Everything the owners manual listed as requirements is met.

The only thing I can think of is with the weather here they tires are always cold/cool and not yet normal/warm but that’s not a listed requirement.

In PTM race 2 and traction/stability shows disabled as it should for launch control.
 
Do you have over 500 miles on the car?
 
Ok. I don’t think the system cares about tire temp so it must be something else.
 
By the way, race 2 does not completely remove all tc and sc. However it removes the most out of all the PTM settings. The lights come on, as I have learned, because it is a law that the lights must come on if tc or sc is reduced to anything other than 100% on.
 
Put it in drive and no change, maybe the launch control needs more KM than the standard breakin 🤷‍♂️

assuming the break in period is preventing it, not quite the same as where it raises redline I guess

Caution
Follow these recommended guidelines
during the first 2 414 km (1,500 mi) of
driving this vehicle. Parts have a break-in
period and performance will be better in the
long run.
• Avoid full throttle starts and
abrupt stops.
• Do not exceed 4000 engine rpm.
• Avoid driving at any one constant speed,
fast or slow.
• Do not drive above 129 km/h (80 mph).
• Avoid downshifting to brake or slow
the vehicle when the engine speed will
exceed 4000 rpm.
(Continued)
Caution (Continued)
• Do not let the engine labor. Never lug the
engine in high gear at low speeds. With
a manual transmission, shift to the next
lower gear. This rule applies at all times,
not just during the break-in period.
• Do not participate in racing events,
sport driving schools, or similar activities
during this break-in period.
• Check engine oil with every refueling
and add if necessary. Oil and fuel
consumption may be higher than
normal during the first 2 414 km
(1,500 mi).
• To break in new tires, drive at moderate
speeds and avoid hard cornering for the
first 322 km (200 mi). New tires do not
have maximum traction and may tend
to slip.
• New brake linings also need a breakin
period. Avoid making hard stops
during the first 322 km (200 mi). This is
recommended every time brake linings
are replaced.

I don't think it has anything to do with it, but the standard break-in is not 500 miles as noted above.
