Van gets stuck in park from time to time - 2005 Honda Odyssey

my venture van is stuck in neutrual

try taking in and out of park several time fast if its not going into park all the way it will get stuck

it sounds like a shift lock solinoid ....this prevents the car from being shifted out of park when ur foot is not on the brake....u will have to bring this to a repair shop since the faulty part is located inside the paneling where ur shifter handle is

P1899 Park/Neutral position (switch) stuck in park or in gear

So what it only does it in park or neutral ! The vehicle starting circuit is only suppose to let it start in park or neutal . Park neutral safety switch won't allow B+ voltage to S terminal on the starter solenoid unless the vehicle is in park or neutral . It's probably the starter relay contacts stuck closed . You really should learn how it works before guessing as to the problem . Plus learn automotive electrical testing ! The ignition switch when turned to the start position send's a voltage signal to the PCM - engine computer .The PCM will energize the starter relay to crank the engine . PCM / ABS 10amp fuse in the I/P fuse box supply's B+ voltage to the park / neutral safety switch . When in park or neutral the B+ voltage goes through the control side of the relay to the PCM which will supply a ground to energize the starter relay .

have had a car stuck in park before, and some of same symptoms. on some vehicles there is an access hole with a cap that you have to pop off by the shifter column. You can over ride the lock on the column through this. Maybe it will help.

Do you use your emergency brake?

The neutral sensor went out thats why it wouldn't turn on and I accidently broke the sterring coulumn so I went to the junkyard and found the same van and took off that sterring column. Now its on my van and its running better

first have somebody check if the brake lights at the rear of the van are working when you apply the brake pedal if they dont its a fuse for the brake lights if they do work its more than likely a shift lock solenoid

replace the transmission control module
