It says to unplug the shift plug and see if it shifts normal if not then its internal

Without doing the job myself, I'd guess it's a stuck valve in the valve body. I had a similar issue sometime ago on one a them and it was a very small piece a rubber something that got wedged in the valve body. No big deal. Drop the pan, then the valve body and figure out which one is 2nd. Likely you'll discover the problem. hth

how many miles and did someone happen to try the synthetic transmission fluid?

Does the scanner indicate desired gear while driving? If the computer commands a gear change and there is no shift then you have an internal problem.
