When there is a fault in the transmission or controls, it would be stuck in 3rd gear. That is known as "limp mode"

You need to retrieve the trouble codes and continue from there.

A scan tool is required to retrieve the trouble code.

Yes. If you are in USA, you can get free scans done at parts stores.
