Reverse, park neutral and first gear all work, but car will not shift out of first gear into second or third or fourth.

Hello,

It sounds like you have a turbine sensor that has gone out which will cause the issue. Here is a video of one getting replaced on a different car but the same procedure:

Lets run the codes as well.
