Inspire automatic transmission parking position issue

I'm having a strange issue with my 2018 Honda Inspire hybrid (64464 km). Sometimes, it just won't start. The check engine light comes on, and I've noticed the gearbox slipping or shifting roughly at other times. I scanned the error memory, and it looks like there's a problem with the automatic transmission parking position. Could it be a defective control unit? Anyone else experienced this?

I've had similar problems with my Inspire. Does the error occur randomly, or is there a pattern? Also, does it happen more often when the car is cold or warm? It could be a transmission sensor issue, or something related to the shift lock.

Thanks for the quick reply! It seems pretty random. I haven't noticed any difference whether the engine is cold or warm. What exactly was wrong with your Inspire? Was it the sensor or something worse?

In my case, it turned out to be a defective control unit, affecting the gear recognition in P position. It was causing similar symptoms. If the error is stored in the memory, and given the symptoms you describe, I would recommend visiting a workshop. It cost me about 1000€ to get sorted.

Thanks a lot for the info! I'll get it checked out at a workshop ASAP. Sounds like it's likely the same problem you had.
