Green Power Light at Full Throttle?
What is the green power light I see when I go full throttle?

My understanding is that the transmission will not upshift until the RPMs hit redline when in "power" mode. I'm sure others can provide a better explanation.

It changes the shift map, as denoted above...
Also, simpley flooring it wont get the mode activated... in fact, you dont have to floor it to get power mode on. It turns on based on the speed or urgency in which you press the gas pedal.

I've noticed the best way to activate the POWER mode on my 92 is to give the throttle a little double tap. I haven't put the car in power mode for months now... im getting more and more used to just babying her and driving like a civilian...

The first time I saw mine was when I pulled-out in front of somebody at a blind T-intersection; one of those deals where once you start, you're committed. Let's just say I was highly motivated to get out of that fellow's way. Bothered me that the engine was cold.

power mode is brought on by the quickness the throttle is depressed, not amount of throttle given... just a lil info for ya

Sorry, sorry, mind wandering the star lanes. Power mode availability is determined by a map, just like the fuelling map. Speed of throttle change for sure lights it up. But it is also reluctant to engage Power if your speed is already high. Or conversely, if you are going slowly it is easier to get into Power mode. Also, I notice in the WSM that it has a default light-up time of three seconds. What I think this implies is you can engage Power once you are flooring the pedal fast. It will stay on while you are accelerating hard. As soon as you ease back, 3 seconds later the light will go out. We all need JDM boxes, that's for sure. Joe

I've found no difference between "power mode" at WOT and simply going WOT, but accelleration will become aggressive for a short period if it senses a quick tap of the throttle. I think it is intended for passing and evasion maneuvers without going WOT. It's an alternative to manual downshifting.
