What causes an Audi Q5L not to move when shifted into gear?

[StDelaney]

Possible reasons include damage to the shift lever's locking motor; malfunction of the shift mechanism's solenoid valve; transmission issues, or problems with the transmission control module. Audi Q5L shifting method: Depress the brake pedal, directly pull the gear lever into D (Drive) position to proceed normally. For higher power demand, shift into S (Sport) mode. From D position, push the lever to the right to enter manual shifting mode, then use the steering wheel-mounted buttons to select gears. Automatic transmission driving techniques: Turn the key to position 1 (or 2); multiple dashboard lights illuminate as the vehicle's computer initiates self-check (similar to PC boot-up), while the fuel pump activates. After several seconds, these lights extinguish. Depending on the vehicle, some indicators may only turn off after ignition; depress the brake and start the engine; wait for idle RPM to stabilize and coolant temperature gauge needle begins moving, then press the brake, shift to D, and release the parking brake; release the brake to move; use accelerator to increase speed and brake to decelerate; when encountering traffic lights or brief stops, maintain vehicle standstill with brake pressure. Release brake to resume motion.
