There are places that will do this for free. That will give some indication what the car's computer thinks the problem is, and why it won't let you go into lift.If you can find out what the code is, that will help us try to figure out what the problem might be. If you are still under warranty, then I'd say just take it back to the dealer.

Basically there has been a failure somewhere that has triggered the computer to run the engine at a reduced level of power to prevent damage... Have you added anything aftermarket to the engine? Particularly a cold air intake? If so, you probably have a fried mass airflow sensor...Check engine light on steady or flashing, by the way? At any rate, Joatmon's advice is good. Find what the code is and go from there.
