Hello,

I can help you with the problem, please tell me which number code you are getting. It sounds like you have a shift solenoid that is out which can cause this issue. The transmission takes 3 fuses to run here is a guide to help you test the fuses and to make sure they are getting power.

Check out the images (below). Let us know how it goes

The short to ground can be the shift solenoid shorted out which is common. I would use a volts meter and check the shift solenoids to see which one is shorted. This guide can help.

B1370-06 (most likely what you’re seeing) “Device Ignition 1 circuit - short to ground or open”. It’s usually set by the SDM (airbag module) or BCM, not the engine ECM.

U0100 - Lost communication with ECM/PCM (CAN bus). That’s often a symptom of the IGN 1 power dropping out to the ECM rather than a network failure.

Also, here is the wiring diagrams for the ignition switch so you can check the feed wires, also, check all of the fuses with the key on as well. Check out the images (below). Let us know what you find.
