The car starts smoothly, but when engaged in a gear it will turn off completely. When put in park it starts immediately. I am not seeing warning lights for the battery on my dash board display.

Hi Berry,

Here is a link to an article that features written step by step instructions and pictures explaining how to do the scan yourself, also I have included a link to our YouTube channel with a how to video on code scanning. Most scanners are inexpensive to purchase, you can purchase one online from sites like Amazon.com. Once you have the codes please get back to us so that we can further assist you.
