Transmision not going in gear will not Move out of driveway until warmed up?

Hi,

This can be the result of a few things. First, have you checked the transmission fluid condition and level? If not, start with that.

Here is a link that explains in general how it's done:

Transmission fluid expands when it gets hot, so that may be why it works best once the engine is warm.

If that checks good, I need to know if the check engine light is staying on while the engine is running. If it is, I recommend having the can-bus scanned. CAN stands for controller area network. I have a feeling the transmission line pressure may be low, and this should indicate if there is a code related to it.

The CAN basically is nothing more than a few wires that connect the different modules. It will retrieve codes regardless of the module storing them. Here is a link that explains how it's done.

Let me know. Also, if you have questions, let me know that as well.

Take care,

Joe
