Sports shift Problems
Hey All I was hoping someone could help me.
i have a 2005 base TL. When i first got the car everything worked fine, about a month later the sports shift would not work properly! (It Shifts up but not down)! I Drove it that way for about another month , messing with it every once in a while and it started to work properly!! so now another month went by and AGAIN It shifts up but not down!!!! Has Anyone else experienced this? what did you do? ( i mean it has to work i just feel like something is out of place or loose)

IT WORKS AGAIN!!!!! I decided to reset my ECU with hopes that it would fix my sports shift
. At first i had to shift down a few times to make it respond, But after a few tries it responses no problem. Now i wanna figure out if it was actually the reset of the ECU, Or the fact that it was a hot day and maybe the previous owner did spill something and the heat broke the sugars down.
whatever it maybe it works now!!!!

csmeance also posted an "easter-egg" style reset - one that's done with a certain sequence of buttons/pedals in the car.
Not sure why that's not in the 3G Garage .... AJ??
