Moving the car around is still a valid test.

Does it look like a recent install? I'm wondering if there is a car side problem / version coding issue making it go red.

Long peddle travel would be normal otherwise the back up system would be engaging in regular operation.

Still worth scanning for codes as a data point.

There are a lot of emotional threads around concerning the SBC, real data is needed.
