HelloThe engine and automatic transmission in this vehicles drive train are fully electronically controlled by a computer called the PCM and TCM (Power Train Control Module, Transmission Control Module). When a problem like this or other drive-ability related problems occurs the computer stores a record of the problem (there are of course some exceptions to this, like the fuel pump, engine coolant temperature sensor and MAF sensor for instance) in the form of a fault code in its memory, to read these fault codes you must have the systems memory scanned with a special tool. Once the fault code(s) are read you then must perform the appropriate diagnostic testing to find and resolve the problem(s) DO NOT REPLACE ANY PARTS UNTIL A TRAINED TECHNICAIN HAS DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM TO AVOID SPENDING YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY ON PARTS THAT MAY NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM

Next to the shift lever is a small square cap flush with the console pry it up and out with a small screw driver. Under the cap is a button, push it down and put the car into gear. This will get you going, finding out the cause is another problem, a blown fuse can cause the problem or a broken neutral safety switch (located above the break pedal) or as in my case none of the above, it just kept working after that. Good luck.

You need to have the systems control computer scanned for fault codes, guessing isn't really an option here.
