may well be a stuck solenoid or a servo or a valve in the vale body, first do a scan to eliminate any electrical problems, a word of caution, holding the brakes on and reeving in gear is call a stall test, this will over heat the trans oil very quickly and if done to often can damage the trans and the torque converter.
