Replace the transmission range sensor.

The transmission range sensor informs the computer what gear is selected. It also turns on the back-up lights when you shift into reverse, and it prevents the starter from operating unless the transmission is in park or neutral.

So, if the back-up lights work, and the starter works when in P or N, it may effect the transmission operation.
