Can not change gears shift is locked
SOURCE: will not shift
neutral safety switch in console jammed, not releasing handle to change gears.

The IPC detects a loss of serial data communications with the ECM.
The automatic transmission shift lock control system is a safety device that prevents an inadvertent shift out of PARK when the engine is running. The driver must press the brake pedal before moving the shift lever out of the PARK position. The system consists of the following components:
?€¢
The automatic transmission shift lock control solenoid
?€¢
The automatic transmission shift lock control switch
With the ignition in the ON position, voltage is supplied to automatic transmission shift lock control switch. Voltage flows through the normally closed contacts of the automatic transmission shift lock control switch to the automatic transmission shift lock control solenoid. The automatic transmission shift lock control solenoid is permanently grounded. This energizes the automatic transmission shift lock control solenoid causing the transmission shift lever to be physically locked in the PARK position. When the brake pedal is pressed the contacts in the automatic transmission shift lock control switch open, de-energizing the automatic transmission shift lock control solenoid. This allows the shift lever to be move out of the PARK position.
The transmission range (TR) switch is part of the park/neutral position (PNP) and backup lamp switch assembly, which is externally mounted on the transmission manual shaft. The TR switch contains four internal switches that indicate the transmission gear range selector lever position. The PCM supplies ignition voltage to each switch circuit. As the gear range selector lever is moved, the state of each switch may change, causing the circuit to open or close. An open circuit or switch indicates a high voltage signal. A closed circuit or switch indicates a low voltage signal. The PCM detects the selected gear range by deciphering the combination of the voltage signals. The PCM compares the actual voltage combination of the switch signals to a TR switch combination chart stored in memory.
You need a Tech2 scan tool to diagnose this problem ! possible range sensor !

2005 Suzuki Forenza will not shift out of Park with out removing the key from ignition and depressing shift lock button located near shifter.
Car can the be put in nutral and car can be started. If it goes back in park you have to repete process.
I'm having the same problem on my 2005 Forenza. I'll check the brake light fuse.
I found that if you turn the key to Lock in the steering column, put the parking break on, insert thekey into the shift lock, put vehicle in Neutral, then start the car. this iwll unlock your gear untill you turn the car off... then you must do this every time you want to drive.....
