Well it is a resistor . I've seen many electrical parts bad out of the box when new so yep , they could go bad .
Good idea there . Take it off without removing the map and drive it and see how it acts .
Since you have the map on your computer and can reinstall it "I'm guessing ", you could hit the low button once , then another , then a third time while testing in that rpm range and see if it helped but only after taking the TRE off and driving it first . The TRE also gives a richer map before the map maker trims it so the bike should be leaner after removing it if it's working . Either way , removing it should show a difference good or bad .
If you get it corrected for the most part by doing so Quasar will have more info to go by .
