Answer
Claude,

The transmission is locked in second gear as a safety feature to keep it from getting damaged.  You will have to go to a place that has a transmission analyzer for Nissan's, like Cottman Transmission.  Well, that is who I use since they have been good to me on many transmissions.  Anyway, a Consult I scanner will give the error codes to find out why the transmission is locked in second.  I would check the grounds and the harness connectors to see if something is unplugged first.
