JDM D15B Stuck in Park..HELP!

By Diiplomat
- Sun Dec 09, 2012 4:43 am #321885 Recently completed my swap.

JDM D15B with auto trans running a JDM P08 ECU.
Everything is great, aside from my car being stuck in park unless I put the key in the shift lock release..

I heard from a friend that I need to ground something on my brake pedal? Is there some sort of guide to fixing this issues?

Thanks in advance for any help!

The switches can go bad.

Thanks for the info, but I'm still a bit puzzled, how exactly do I solve my issue? Do I need to ground anything? It is rather annoying having to push the shift lock release every time I want to shift from park.

Unless there's something that you could have disconnected or cut during the swap...
