Transmission or Drivetrain Issue Preventing Movement
The vehicle does not move when the engine is cold, indicating a possible transmission, torque converter, or drivetrain problem. This could be due to low transmission fluid, a faulty torque converter, or internal transmission failure.
Diagnosis Details
Possible Causes
Low or contaminated transmission fluid (common when cold, as fluid thickens and may not circulate properly)
Faulty torque converter or torque converter clutch solenoid
Internal transmission failure (e.g., broken bands, worn clutches, or valve body issues)

What You Should Do
Check transmission fluid level and condition (engine running, warm, on level ground).
If low, top off with correct fluid and test.
If fluid is dark or smells burnt, transmission may need service.
Scan for diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) related to transmission or drivetrain.
Do not drive the vehicle; have it towed to a qualified mechanic for further diagnosis.
