Atually it MAY be quite simple. It may be a bad safety switch linked to the shifter. A micro switch not getting tripped in park but the one for neutral works.

Well your tech should tell you what the problem is if you ask.

Sounds like a bad inhibitor switch or one that is way out of adjustment. The Mitsu scan too can tell the servicing technician what position the PCM thinks the shifter is in. It will also be able to determine if it's just way out of position. Good luck!
