Question Car is on, Transmission on D, Doesn't move !!!

Well, tonight i was not lucky enough at almost the beginning of the year. Started the car in front of the mall, moved for few meters and it does not want to move neither forward nor backward. If I switch off the car and start it after sometime, it will again move few meters and stop

I scanned for codes since I got check engine light and I got P0730 which is incorrect gear ratio

I took it to the workshop, tomorrow or the day after they will work on it, they told me we don't know yet what's wrong, but it could be the converter !!!

What do you guys think it is?

try this,clear the ecu and put the car in dyno mode and see if it rolls.you might have a speed sensor problem and the computer is freaking out and not letting the car drive.

Take the E brake off? Just kidding. Good luck resolving the issue. Keep us updated.

Then check the 13pin plug on the transmission for ATF contamination.

Check the passenger side foot well firewall see if it's wet. This is where your TCU lives. May even want to look at the connections for green nasty. Without a SDS we can guess all day...
Shifter linkage/bushing, neutral safty switch, +1 on the connector especially if it's leaking, conductor plate

Oops I see it's at the $hop. Good luck please post the fix.
