Another observation that I forgot to mention. My instructor did not seem all that concerned with the problem. The first time I experienced "ice mode" I was scared that he was going to direct me to pit and end my day. But he didn’t.
The second time it happened he told me to pit and had a marshal eyeball the brakes. The marshal took a look and said that the brakes were definitely hot but otherwise fine.
After that session he solo’d me.
So whatever he perceived in the passenger seat must have felt like simple driver error and not a mechanical issue. I imagine he thought it was simple brake lock up even though there was no tire squeal.
Take this for what it’s worth, I am not sure if it adds anything to the story...
