It could be that the brake switch is bad! If you would, look down at the shifter, there is a emergency shift lock release, take your key and insert it in there and push down should release your shifter! please use this method instead of leaving it in neutral! that is very dangerous

SOURCE: where is the tcu in a 2002 honda accord

it is the Transmission Control Unit. you have to find the reason why the TCU is flashing the D4 fault code. not replace the unit. have your vehicle scanned for another code. your transmission or transaxle is giving you a warning that something is wrong .

SOURCE: 94 honda accord hard to shift from park

You seem to have two (2) separate problems one may be a BAD brake light switch this switch is mounted at the top of BRAKE pedal and control the locking mechanism on gear shifter(safety component-for example if a kid is sitting in seat with vehicle running he/she will NOT be able to put vehicle in gear without stepping on brake). The other problem is a BAD shifter cable-this cable moves the selector in the transmission when you move shift knob. Good luck and thanks for using FIX YA

SOURCE: Honda Accord 1999 Fuse box diagram

I have the same problem with my 99 accord. For the past few years, I have been able to change out the fuse in the fuse box on the passenger side under the hood of the car up near the windshield. There is a map of the fuses on the top of the box. Hope this helps!

SOURCE: my 1997 honda accord will not shift out of

Inside the center console, on the side of the shifter, there is a neutral safety switch. You can replace it, or remove it. If you remove it, you will always be able to shift the gear, even with the car off, so its something to think about. But it can be done.

SOURCE: My 1992 honda Accord wont shift out of park, the

The interlock solenoid is provide with power by the Transmission control module (tcm) when the brake pedal is applied3f09359.jpg and then grounded by the gear selector switch in park. If you access the connector to the tcm, you can check to see if it's getting a ground signal and check the solenoid. Pull the harness connector off the tcm and apply 12v to the harness connector pin that leads to the white wire with a green stripe as seen in the diagram. If the solenoid clicks, you may have a bad tcm. If the solenoid does not click, you may have a bad solenoid, or bad selector switch. The tcm is under the front passenger footwell.

1999 honda accord will not shift out of park sometimes

I would start by looking at the brake switch/sensor.
it is located on the brake pedal lever typically close to the firewall.
if the sensor bad or the wiring/connector are loose or broken it can keep you from removing your shift linkage from park.
because your problem is intermittent I would look at the connection and verify that it hasn't wiggled loose.

I have a 2004 Honda Accord and I cant move the shifter from parking to drive unless I use the button on hte console?

the nuetral safety switch is bad on the car this will not let you shift the car into gear if it does not register that the car is in park and your foot is on the brake pedal, try pulling the emergency brake on and see if it lets you.

1999 accord wont shift out of park and no break lights.

u have a problem with ur break light switch,,, its at the brake pedal and is threaded into the brake pedal bracket, if u have a new one and are going to replace it, disconnect the connector, loosen the 14mm nut and remove the switch by turning it counterclockwise...install ther new switch by turning it clockwise and tightening the 14mm nut then reconnect the connector...be sure to adjust the switch or else the brake lights will stay on at all times...draining ur battery and possibly burning out ur bulbs...this also releases ur trans from park to put into gears
