I was driving my car and got off the freeway, stopped to get has and when I left the gas station I noticed it would not shift out of first gear. It shifts into drive and reverse just fine but when driven will not go beyond first gear. Before this happened it shifted extremely smooth and had absolutely no issues. We had changed the transmission control module and it did not help. Any ideas?

Hello,

This sounds like a typical input speed speed sensor issue. I would replace the sensor to see what happens. When this sensor goes out it sometimes does not trigger a code. Check out the diagrams (below). Please let us know what happens.

There is a transmission control relay I would check. Here is a guide to help you and the transmission wiring diagrams so you can see how the system works:

Also check for power at fuse # 21, 10 and 17.

Check out the diagrams (below). Please let us know what you find. We are interested to see what it is. Sorry we should have done this first. My bad.

Cheers, Ken
