TAPshift problems on my camaro - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

When I go to shift up when I try to us it. It wont shift. does anyone one have an idea. I put LT heads on the car and the engine light came on and i know its the o2 sensor but could it not be shifting because the CEL is on?

Did you put it in M or whatever the sport mode is called rather than just leaving it in drive? If so, I really don't know what the issue would be, I wouldn't think that the CEL would be causing the issue personally.

yea I put it in M and nothing! I talked to Chevy and the guy said when your engine lights on usually tap shift and cruise control doesn't work but everything does work CC is fine its just the tap shift. I can even shift down just not up.

Can you get the code cleared out and see if it works then?

Can you rephrase the question... In English?

Bro I had this problem only when I broke the clock spring in the steering wheel...You probably disconnected the steering column and turned it to many times which broke the clock spring...Its a little sensor...Take it to the dealership it a easy fix... Next time tie the steering wheel up where it doesnt move at all and you will not have this problem! Once this is fixed tapshift will work again. Good Luck! I think they charged me like $170 to fix!!! Your CEL is on because the car is running Lean until its tunes!!!

If the engine light is on it won't work! Also the remote start wont work! Get a tune!

Peter-5 · 02-13-2012, 06:37 PM

dshep214 the guy at chevy also told me that cruise control would not work and it does!

Darth_Emma · 02-13-2012, 06:48 PM

You definitely need a tune. You'll love it.
