Abstract

A launch control system for a vehicle includes a control system configured to, in response to detecting a launch control request, determine whether an accelerator pedal position and a brake pressure are greater than respective calibrated thresholds, when the accelerator pedal position and the brake pressure are both greater than the respective calibrated thresholds, temporarily limit a torque output of a torque generating system to a limited calibrated value to mitigate or prevent potential damage to a driveline system, and while temporarily limiting the torque output of the torque generating system to the limited calibrated value, when at least one of the accelerator pedal position and the brake pressure falls below its respective calibrated threshold, increase the torque output of the torque generating system to a maximum calibrated value.
