Is your check engine light on? Sounds like it is locked out of overdrive. Is the button that puts it into overdrive pushed in?

The knock sensors will lock it out of over drive for sure, B1S2 will not.

Can you please list all the codes you are getting and if there are multiple codes, see if you can reset and have it read again (and post them here). At times it is better to mentally reset and not follow the trail that you are on.
