Rick, a p-1899 code is for a p/n switch not reading correctly for a given mode of operation. 3 probable causes: 1-defective p/n switch 2-wiring issue 3- internal pcm failure. Take it to the dealer to have it fixed. We have the proper scan/test equipment as well as all the needed diag. material. Or you can just throw parts and money at it until you find it by chance.
