Emergency stop applies the brakes using the ABS pump until the vehicle is slow enough to use the park brake.
Holding your foot on the brake pedal while in neutral or park for more than the couple of seconds necessary to get out of neutral or park can overheat the selector pcb's 1 ohm resistor that is fitted to monitor the voltage drop of the shift lock motor power. When the resistor overheats its solder melts which can become a cold solder joint or the resistor can lift off its contact patch totally. The resistors are tiny so can overheat quite quickly. Stopped at traffic lights with the gearbox in neutral and foot on the brake pedal is asking for trouble.
