I don't see any code related to differential ratio.

The ME won't allow unloaded reving of the motor in any car. Since the controller doesn't know that the car is moving it probably applies that limitation always.

The trans also can't shift without speed input. The speed input is used as a governor would be in a mechanically controlled auto trans. The speed input in a SL600 would come from the traction control system and its wheel speed sensors.
