A passenger reported the captain announced they had an indication that would not permit them to continue takeoff. After about 30 minutes holding their position the captain came on again announcing they had spoken to maintenance, believed it was a spurious indication, had "twisted" some buttons and checked the manuals and believed the fault was cleared.
The aircraft taxied for another departure from runway 22R, but again rejected takeoff about 5 seconds after the engines spooled up.
The passenger reported the aircraft again vacated the runway and taxied to a remote stand, where maintenance is now checking the aircraft. Gossip is running amongst the passengers based on talk of one of the passengers with the captain, that a takeoff configuration warning as result of a park brakes set indication prevented takeoff, though the park brake had not been set.
The flight was subsequently cancelled, the passengers were rebooked onto other flights.
