Hi,there could be a problem with the sift solinoid,if you look on u-tube there is a vidio there showing you how to test it,good luck hope this was some help.

Have your code reset at a garage or checked,this is something you need checked at a garage unless you are a qualified mechanic to do this kind of work

Best Answer!

check for sift solenoid fault. Have a fault code read. Talk to a tranny specialist as it may be a common fault.

Check to see if your brake lights are working. If not, you have a blown fuse for the brake lights or a bad brake light switch on the brake pedal arm bracket.
When you turn the key to ON, a solenoid energizess and lock the sihft interlock. When you step on the brake to shift out of park, It de-energizes the relay so you can move the sift lever. You should hear a click noise with they key in ON position and you step on the brake pedal. TRy this witohout starting the engine & listen.
The bypass emergency procedure is in your owner manual under sift interlock in the index.
But, usually you turn the key to OFF (first click) and then step on the brake & shift out of park. Then start car in neutral and drive away.
It works because you did not energize the shift lock solenoid, by not turning key to ON.

report results and please rate, thanks.

Also, check the wire going to the brake switch under the dash. It may have just come off.

Is it not shifting into OD? It should shift from first to second, then second to third, and third into fourth which is od. I'm not quit sure which forward gear you are meaning.

The sift solenoids are located on the valve body inside the transmission.
The transmission pan has to be removed to gain access the the valve body. Once the pan is removed the valve body is in plain sight.
Removal of the transmission filter will grant you a clearer view as well.
This is a 4L60E transmission, in the event you have not purchased the solenoids.

no it won't hurt to drive it, but have the computer tested for trouble codes, u most likely have an electric sift solenoid in the trans that has failed.

shift solenoids are inside the transmission. take it to transmission repair shop.
