"Cold cranking amps", (CCA) is how batteries are rated for electrical size. That is not related to this problem.

First try shifting to neutral and starting the engine, then back to park and try it. If that works, suspect the neutral safety switch or it wasn't fully in park. Next, measure the battery voltage. It should be 12.6 volts. If it's around 11 volts or less, it has a shorted cell and must be replaced.
