I dont think youll see an error light (i know I havnt at 290F) but the car will be significantly weaker in terms of power output.
I guess that makes sense. I didn't noticed my high temp until my cool down lap so it's possible I didn't notice the power loss. For sure there wasn't an error light. I'll try to pay more attention to temps and power next time. Then again, unsure that's where my attention should go when at the track
