Is the Check engine light ON? Before we go there does it work? [As you turn the ignition key from ACC -> Run (step before the start) the instrument panel goes through self test and the warning lights should come on.

There are fault codes [can be read with OBDII reader] that can prevent getting into higher gears. We refer to that as 'limp mode' ... essentially to limp your way to a repair facility.

So check with an OBDII reader and post the error codes for us to help. Note: Not all issues are monitored/reported with OBDII.
