Hello, I have a problem, probably somebody here can help...
I can't move the parking shift out of P !!
I can do it only by pressing the Shift Lock System button down. But still every time I go back to P, if I want to move the car I have to press down the Shift Lock System button down.
Is there a solution for this???
Thanks!!

I was going to be a real a-hole, and say "Yes, get a manual", but decided I'm not that nasty. I AM nasty enough to think it would have been funny, though. :smile:
I had a Honda wagon that my wife owned do this, and eventually I took to the local garage who sorted it out. Hopefully someone will chip in with a solution.

I have the manual is not saying anything.
I look all over it and can't believe they don't mention a thing.

The shift lock is controlled by the Shift Lock ECU, which lives in the bottom of the shift assembly.

I would start by checking the ACC, STOP and GAUGE fuses in the under dash fuse panel (as all three are inputs to the ECU).

Also, the brake light switch is a direct input, so make sure that your brake lights are actually lighting up when you press the pedal (to verify that the switch is good).

Finally, I would pop the cover off of the center console and make sure that the 12 pin connector is properly seated to the shift assembly.
