Well I thought I would post, its been a long while since I posted anything.
I was getting ready for a trip to the Renaissance Festival one evening and as you all know specially with one person "me" it takes a long time to load the RV with the trip supplies, my RV is in storage so I load the truck, unload the truck, load the RV, go to kroger or walmart, go shopping for groceries and ice, load the RV, went Home with the RV to eat dinner and get last minute supplies, bedding from dryer and so on. " its about 4hrs " to prep load for a weekend or a week long trip.
I got in the RV, started up, when it was time to back up, no problem, however Drive was a different story, I stepped on the gas and nothing, then the Do Not Shift Light came on. "WTF". Alarms, Lights and me freaking out.
I turned off the RV, started up again, put in Drive - Do Not Shift Light again. - Okay turned off, back on, put in reverse no problem, straighten up along curb, and went inside to find manual online and other suggestions.
I found that if you start and turn off 5 times, then a press key sequence on the transmission you get into the code section, regardless I was able to get the coach back into the driveway, then I just unloaded everything. Trip was cancelled. - Now to get it back to storage without having to get a tow truck.
I followed instructions on proper disconnection of batteries and rebooted the Rig essentially. I was able to get the coach to go into drive without the alarm, but I took it back to storage.

I called them and we discussed the issue and I was quoted 600.00 to fix / rebuild my ECU. I still have not sent it out yet, but soon.
Any thoughts? Let me know
