Last Monday na dadalhin na namin sa casa para ipacheck up at ipadetail, nagstart naman sya pero yung AT shift lever e ayaw gumalaw from Park mode. Ano kaya ang posibleng naging problema nito? Parang nakalock sa Park mode. Ive checked na din yung ATF at reddish pa naman sya. Hindi naman inabot ng tubig yung ECU kasi medyo nasa taas pa sya.

Ang haba ng pila sa towing services ng insurance para madala lang sa casa. Thanks kay lazyfoot for posting the number of Romy re towing. Bukas kami nakaschedule sa kanya since nasa Cainta pa daw sya today.

would appreciate any ideas or advice regarding this AT problem ko especially from those who have experienced the same problem before. thanks.

its just like the honda di mo maibaba ang shifter ng automatic pag me short na wires. kaya di mo sia maibaba dahil me mga shorted ka somewhere.check mo mga fuse mo meron dun pumutok. safety feature yan ng mga new model cars eh. puwede mo din check ang manual

For the ABS, it might be the sensor to be faulty.

The airbag warning, it might be the computer box for the airbag system to be at fault. It might be located near the floor of the car.

I have an X-trail too but I managed to escape from flood almost reaching my hood at edsa balintawak.

Muka nasira or na grounded yung solenoid that prevents the shifter to move when brake is unpressed, its a safety feature. You can try press the mechanical lock button to shift it.

I think yung mga sensors mo na damage na, just have it check and/or replace it

Ganito rin sa Honda Pasig, pati daanan ng tao sinakop na rin nila...

Mga sir, pag hindi mo natanggal yung battery tapos umilaw yung park and break light mo habang nakababad, does it mean na tinamaan yung ECU ng Jazz ko? Mas worried ako sa electrical kesa sa engine kase I pulled out the dipstick ng engine oil wala namang tubig. Submerged yung oto ko halfway ng headlight for 5 hours and hindi inabot yung dashboard. Never kong inattempt na i-start yung engine. Any suggestions kung anong dapat unang i-check other than making sure that everything is dry?

Disconnect mo agad battery then let it dry and bring it to your favorite repair shop or casa

My Toyota vios 1.5G submerged in flood waters. I called up Toyota Marikina but the casa was submerged too. I called toyota QA, Cubao, & Otis but all casas are fully booked w vehicles having the same problem. However, a service advisor gave me a rough estimate of the casa charge w/c is as follows:
washing PhP 4000.00
detailing 4000.00
computer box (if damaged) 30000.00 (approx)
oil/filters/flushing compound 2500.00 labor 5000.00
misc. XXXXXXXXXXX
TOTAL (APPROX) Php 45000.00 ++

I was refered by my car sales agent to a former collegue who manages a motorshop in Cubao (Neocars) & my vehicle is now ready for pick-up. My bill is PhP 11500.00. My Vios' computer box was not damaged. However, an Innova was not as fortunate, their bill is PhP20000.00 as their computer box was affected & repaired too. FYI

Totzulot and Shadow, thanks for the advice. I tried to na pindutin yung shift lock, hindi lang siguro forceful yung ginawa ko kaya hindi bumaba yung lever. Kasi nung dumating yung tow truck kanina e yun din lang ang pinindot nila.

Hayun, nasa Nissan UN na si Xtrail namin. Sana walang ganong damage. If there is any consolation, wala naman so far nagblink na any warnings sa panel. Waiting na lang kung kelan matapos sa casa. Since andami nakapila, wala ding assurance na date kung kelan matatapos pati interior detailing. Sana maging ok ulit si Xtrail.

Thanks for the replies again.
