I think I know the problem, but I am sharing my friends car for the track day anyways.

We came back from the awards dinner and my brake lights were on, on the trailer. They were on earlier, but I thought it was the exit/entry sentry lights,.

I also know that you can't power brake this car without pulling the abs fuse. brakes on, engine wont rev, period

I think my brake light switch or brake pressure switch has failed. that would explain no codes and cut power
