Line-Lock Control

CORE ECU features a dedicated Line-Lock control system that independently engages the front brakes via an electronic solenoid valve, allowing the rear wheels to spin freely. This enables controlled burnouts and consistent drag racing launches. The system maintains hydraulic pressure in the front brake calipers through a user-configured activation mode, keeping the vehicle stationary while the rear wheels rotate. Line-Lock can also function as an anti-roll device during the launch control sequence, minimizing vehicle movement during trans-brake activation. The following steps outline the process for configuring and enabling Line-Lock Control.

    CORE enables you to select when the line-lock solenoid is engaged:

    • DuringLaunch: During the vehicle launch sequence.
    • DuringBurnout: During the burnout sequence.
    • DuringLaunchAndBurnout: During both launch and burnout sequences.
