"As in not move."
Id like to buy a noun from you, what is the implied IT here.
is it the car will not move
or the shifter lever is stuck. (brake lights dead? on rear?)
if the lever moves, and then you try
DRIVE< low and reverse????????????????
what do the ALL DO. (car moving wise)?
the transmission is electronically shifted.
the power button changes shift patterns.
here are the steps, (over 1000 steps on A/t work so ill skip a few)
1: check fuses.
2: scan the PCM this tells you what the TCM brain sees
the TCM is the transmission control module (regardless of its location)
the TCM has errors, if it does then we work from there.
3: make sure all shift linkages are ok, (inspections with eyes and hands)
lacking answers to the above, makes clear causes, impossible.
Q1 is shift'er lever stuck?
Q2, if no to the above, what gears work, PRNDL?
R fail, D fail and L fail?
Hello
The
Engine and Automatic Transmission (not applicable to manual
transmissions) in this vehicles drive train are fully
electronically controlled by a computer called the PCM and TCM (Power
Train Control Module, Transmission Control Module). When a problem
like this or other drive-ability related problems occurs the computer
stores a record of the problem (there are of course some exceptions
to this, like the fuel pump, engine coolant temperature sensor and
MAF sensor for instance) in the form of a fault code in its memory,
to read these fault codes you must have the systems memory scanned
with a special tool. Once the fault code(s) are read you then must
perform the appropriate diagnostic testing to find and resolve the
problem(s) DO NOT REPLACE ANY PARTS UNTIL A TRAINED
TECHNICAIN HAS DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM TO AVOID SPENDING YOUR HARD
EARNED MONEY ON PARTS THAT MAY NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM. Also always
check fuel pressure for correct spec for your make and engine type.
