Getting out of parking gear - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #35605 4 posts Started by JonCars17
Well I finally got my car back from the shop today, but I found out that my car won't get out of parking gear. You know when you push the brake pedal in after having the car turned on of course and then switching the car from park to reverse or drive. Well mine doesn't move, it acts locked. So now I have to press that button right next to the gear stick (not the one on it) with a screw driver. I donno how better to explain it, but my car is an automatic and I'd like to know if anyone on the board may know what may be wrong with it. Thanks!
When you push on that button located on the handle it's supposed to push on the white thing that locks it in gear. You may want to check that your button is doing it's job.

It worked fine when u brought it to the shop? Now its not working? Id be like, "yo, fix it. NOW!" thats not normal, u should only have to push in the button on the lever, that screw driver thing is an emergency thing, or safty thing of some sort.

Just incase someone does a search. The problem was a blown fuse. But thanks for the replies.
