To defeat ASR simply disconnect pins 25 35 and 37 on the ASR module.

I did this and the car's idle increased to 1200-1500 RPM while in park, but no surging of idle like when ASR is on.

If you need help locating the ASR module, ask.

What I'm trying to do is figure out if the 1500RPM is OK, or did I do something wrong. Also, I didn;t notice any change in performance between ASR defeated, and ASR on.

Does the 400e get really sluggish when the ASR light is on? I've only driven the car a couple hundred feet, as I still don't have tags on it.
