If your brake lights don't light up when pressing your brake pedal then the issue is most likely the sensor connected to the brake pedal that detects brake pressure.
If your brake lights DO light up when pressing the brake pedal, the issue is most likely the BTSI located near the shifter. It releases the pin that keeps the car in park when pressing the shift release button. You can bypass the BTSI by removing the console and manually pressing the pin after exposing your shift lever. Instructions can be found by searching 06 DTS BTSI bypass on google.
The first thing you do is check the brake lights, do they work, if not you found your problem.
If you cannot shift out of PARK (P), ease the pressure on the shift lever. Push the shift lever all the way into PARK (P) as you maintain brake application. Then move the shift lever into the gear you want. If you are still having a problem shifting, then have your vehicle serviced soon.
The
shifter needs to be inspected. The shifter assembly is got misaligned, it has
to be open and realign.
There
are many other possibilities. But if it was working right up till now and
suddenly this occurred then its shifter
assembly alignment issue.
Also
i suggest you to refer these gear shift issues, which are mostly noticed. These
are direct links with appropriate solutions to
the specific problems of gear ****.
