I didn't have to do any coding when i swapped the gear suggestion knob (i call it that because it's literal: you icky suggest what gear you want and if and when the computer approves you'll get that gear).

What scanner are you using? Foxwell will show all the switches in the gear m suggestion knob and the status of the e interlock.

I was going to manually turn my e interlock to free and unplug the motor so i would have to manually pull out of park but it would still work.

Are you able to move the handle left/right? When mine failed it would get stuck in sport and would act like you describe. I just had to manually move back to neutral before i could start.
