My car will not get out of 3rd gear. It starts in 3rd and will not pop into 4th. Now I can go into manual shift and shift between 1st and 3rd but still cant get it into 4th. im thinking its a sensor or something. also my check engine light has come on and it is a bear to start when its cold
All Toyota/Lexus transmissions are 4-speed transmissions (in the 1st Generation 1989 to 1994 Lexus LS)
all are ECU (computer) controlled.
Take it in and have a shop scan it. Most likely a problem with the ECU.
a quick look around ECU's for 199 to 399.
hope this helps a little.
Now, I'm not saying this is a fact, but my TH700R4 trans did that very thing, wouldn't come out of third. And with no 3rd it won't go to overdrive. I rebuilt the trans and found the overdrive drum was all scarred and caused the limp home thing to happen, third gear was as high as it would go. I suggest you have the trans checked out by a professional trans shop. As for it being a bear to start, that's a faulty temperature sensor. If it's not functioning, the computer doesn't know to put it into cold start mode, which increases the throttle speed and puts more fuel in the engine for starting when cold. Like a automatic choke system in earlier vehicles.
SOURCE: transmission won't shift to 2nd and 3rd gears goes from 1st to 4th.
Doesn't sound like a simple fix. I would suggest having it serviced.

There are to many things that can cause this problem, best thing to is go get the ECM scanned for DTC codes at a transmission shop or Auto zone or Parts Source since they scan for free.
The ECM should have DTC code in it's memory on how the transmission is Performing and have the Transmission line tested for Fluid pressure.
Good luck and hope this helps. Oh and also ways check with more then on transmission shop if there tell you that you need a new Transmission,
It could be a simple as the transmission filter falling off causing the lost of transmission fluid pressure. Check the transmission fluid too.

Hi, Your like your jeep is in limp in mode, this is to keep you from burning up transmission and to get you some were off the road, the p1768 code means A/T Transmission Relay Output Always Off. This should be checked out by your local shop or dealer. but you should make sure that the fluid level is correct, if to low there is not enough fluid pressure for the solenoid's to engage the relays. Hope this can help you out. If i can help you anymore fell free to re post.
Thanks dodge tec
