I still do not get it about "fixing" the calibration issue. The truck went all the way to the red line being pushed down hill. it seems at that point the driver should have done something other than just sit there and see what and if the motor would go past the red line.

As i interpreted the vid, the computer was programmed to prevent some driver like the one in the vid from abusing the motor. :h

It's typical for modern vehicle programming to prevent a driver from damaging the engine by overreving. For example, if you're driving down the freeway at 65 and try to manually downshift to first gear the computer won't let you do it. But what should have probably happened during the test is that the vehicle should have just upshifted rather than going into limp mode.
