There are a thousand things that could cause "Trans Failsafe Mode" but yours is clearly related to the gearshift!

It would be worth checking the alignment of the shift cable. If the selector position doesn't match what the the transmission is seeing it could cause many of these faults.

+1 ^ The shift cable is out of adjustment at the gearbox end and lubricate. |

It "inhibits" you or stops you from starting the vehicle in gear on an automatic gearbox.If you look underneath the vehicle at the gearbox you will see it and how exposed it is to the elements.Mine just went bad after approx 6-7 years and I have put a second one in .Its not too bad of a job and you can see the instructions in the online manuals in the wiki
