Have you checked the fluid level in the master cylinder?
That is a code for an invalid skim key. If you have another skim key try it. If it does the same thing then the skim module may be bad.

You have two separate issues here. First, the delay going into gear may
benefit from a fluid change providing that the cause isn't just low
fluid level but not always. It will not help immediately, because
likely there is a lazy shift valve caused by a small amount of varnish
which may need some time to clean up. It may not help at all if the
valve is sticking because of wear or other internal mechanical problem.
Your other problem is with going out of park. Actually, that is a
normal condition that happens in every vehicle, but is more noticeable
in heavier ones or those with slightly shorter shift arms on the
transmission itself. Virtually every manufacturer uses the same method
of locking a transmission in park. This is done by using a square piece
of steel that fits into a square slot on the outside of an internal
drum which is locked to the mainshaft of the transmission. Around that
drum there are multiple slots as well as "blank" areas between them so
that you can select park without having the vehicle need to roll a full
revolution before the piece of steel (called the parking pall) can
engage the drum. It does need to roll a bit till it finds a slot
though. Putting the parking brake on takes tension from the drum and
pall, so that the pall is not "loaded" by the weight of the vehicle,
which makes it difficult to pull it back to disengage it. The weight of
the vehicle and severity of the incline come into play here, as they
add to the amount of loading. The length of the trans shift arm
provides either more or less leverage, making movement either easier or
more dificult...so there is a variable between vehicles for all of the
different reasons above.
Every owners manual will contain instructions to use the parking brake
on hills but don't explain why...now you know. Parking against a curb,
you are loading the lock mechanism from the steering side which is why
you should avoid parking like that.
Long answer to an easy question but that's how it works!!!

it sounds like your gearshift cable is broken..if you can jack up vehicle and support it safely,get someone to move shifter and look on driver's side of transmission and see if linkage is moving on trans..linkage is up near top of trans..i have seen this problem before
