Default GS300 2003 M mod transmission problem please help

i have gs300 2003 .. the problem with the transmission. When the transmission is in the M position. A flashing letter M appears in the screen It is shown in the 3rd gear. And I can't control from the steering wheel

Also When placed at P, it does not show in the counter that it is at P.

My car did this when it had a bad transmission solenoid. The flashing M indicates that there is a problem in the transmission that prohibits enabling Manual mode.

Either get your hands on a comprehensive OBD-II reader that can read transmission codes or bring it to a transmission shop that has such a reader to see what's up.

There is also no need to use gigantic font.

In my case it was the Shift Solenoid Valve S3. Yours may be different, or it may not be that at all. Only a transmission shop (or proper scanner) will be able to tell you.
