im pretty sure it operates in 2nd only, no signs of trying to go into first. when i put the shifter in drive, 3rd, or low all i get is 2nd. all the shifter lights are lit up (from Park to Low, all the lights are lit).
i dont think the tranny is defective, its driven 116k without signs of problems. it put itself into this mode only after being pulled up a hill hitched to a truck while in gear (nobody was in the car giving it gas, it was just at an idle while the shifter was in Low gear). after that it went into fail-safe mode.
another thing. it may be a loose sensor or something, i have NO idea what is going on with this one but i hit a hell of a gas station curb (you know how those can get sometimes) and the shift lights 'kind of' fixed themselves. It will tell me im in Reverse, Drive, 3rd, and Low. But the Park and Neutral lights wont turn on. when i put it in park it stays reverse lit. when i put it in neutral from drive, the drive light stays on. Just another variable thrown into the equation. Im no diagnostics guy but id say that could point to something or other.
