Modern transmissions use shift solenoids, which are electronic. Try putting a new or charged up battery in it before you panic. Also, the PCM requires a decent amount of voltage (maybe 10.5V+) to function. Below that, you might not get a clear thinking PCM, which controls the transmission.

Also check the fluid level, smell, and color and let us know what you see. Big problems generally show something. Black fluid might indicate clutch dust. Aluminum shavings indicate possible major failures. Bad smells indicate overheating/slipping.

Welcome to this forum! I've moved your post into its own thread with a title. Check the linkage adjustment on the transmission.
