There is not a reset button but there is a shift interlock sytem that ties in the shifter, igniton switch and brake light circuit. The first thing is to check to see if your brake lights work. If not check the fuse and replace then see if it will start. Otherwise there is a set of tests you can go through. I am providing you with the test that do not require special tools to do the test. I am also giving you the necassary diagrams as refernced in the test instructions. If I did not provide a diagram it is a test that requires a special tool.
You may also remove the console if not mentioned in test and check that the solenoid on the shifter is connected to the elctrical connector and the switch to pin connection that releases the shifter.
