Park/Neutral Position Switch
Park/Neutral Position (PNP) switch may also be referred to as Transmission Range (TR) switch. TR and PNP and back-up switches are all combined in one assembly.

The Park/Neutral Position (PNP) switch is connected to transmission gear selector. PNP switch signals PCM when transmission is in Park, Neutral or Drive.
Try and place shifter in (N)position
e brake and foot on brake start
possible bad switch or out of adjustment
also
check if have a security light on and blinking with key on
