it is the dial switch on the side of the transmission that tells the TCM which gear you have put the trans in, and it also has a switch in it to allow the car to start when its in park or neutral.

if you have a service manual, follow the adjustment proceedure in the AT section for the inhibitor switch. It may just be slightly out of adjustment.
