suv will not move when put in any gear. the a/t p light is on.

I tried answer #2 just today - worked as suggsted - NOT a tranny problem!!!

Hey- many thanks for this post. My wife just called from the middle of the Chicago Skyway with exactly this problem with our Sequioa, following being cut off by a truck. Sure enough, her water bottle had bumped against the 4WD lever; I read her this solution and instead of a call to AAA she's on her way. Thanks again!!

Thank you very much for this post. The same happened to son on the highway. We have rebuilt the trans and warranty expired after 24 months with 30k miles over. Had the truck towed home, wasn’t planning on spending any major dollar on it with 300+ k miles. Was getting ready to get rid of it then I read your post. Worked like a champ. You are a life saver..thanks again.
