Is your transmission stuck in second gear???

Mechs if you have a truck stuck in second gear. The first thing to check is to see if the "trans" light is working. If it isn't, figure out why. The main trans power goes from the battery, to the relay and then through the light.

No light = no shift

Just to expand on this. If your vehicle is stuck in second gear it is in "limp home mode" it's when either the TCM finds a fault and places it in this to keep the transmission from damaging itself, or the tcm is not being read and the transmission defaults into it.
