hey man... wish i could help.. but i have no idea what could be the problem..!

i read that removing the TRC fuse eliminates the speed limiter ( 180 km/h) on the ARISTO...once i removed the Traction control fuse from the fuse board and started the car... it was idling @ 3000 rpms my heart fell on the floor.. so it never works !

check the fuses maybe somthing over there... the VSC fuse or somthing.. !

wish i could help more.. !
