There is.

Your PCM defaults to normal mode for a NA car in Performance mode.

Your PCM retards the shifts in economy mode by inducing a resistance (voltage divider circuit to drop the voltage from 5V at the PCM to 2.5V) in order to slightly retard the shift points for greater economy.

I have personally never seen a resistor short across the leads, so I'd say you have a short to ground holding that pin at a constant 5v and preventing the resistor from being introduced into the circuit.

Where is this resistor you speak of? I'm happy to get the dmm with long leads to test while driving or whatever I need to do.
