Check the voltage of the hybrid high voltage battery through a scan tool (or if you know what you are doing and observe high voltage safety precautions, check at the high voltage battery terminals). If the voltage is less than 192V, the computer will not be able to learn the drive motor positions. This could also be why your Tahoe is not starting. Dead hybrid battery. If your battery is too low, you may not need a new one. You just need to find a hybrid tech who can "grid charge" the whole pack at once.

but for that I need GM tech 2 scanner tool.

I recently purchased one of these VCXNano scantools that comes with a Windows version of a Tech2. This may let you initiate the Jump Assist mode. I would first verify that the battery really is discharged by reading the module voltages. If you already have an OBD2 scanner, look at the following post that shows you how to read the voltages:

they tried to clear trouble code and reprogram the sensor, but it didn't work out. They tried 12 times. The last thing they can do is change the whole transmission.

That is an expensive transmission. $6,000.00 might not be much money to you but ole dnt1010 says woah hold up here a minute LOL. If this were mine I would want to get another opinion, even if I had to have it towed to a hybrid specialty shop. When I see these dealership diagnosis I am always reminded of the time I had bought a new ford truck and the cruise control stopped working. Took it in and they said it was a bad control module and they would have to order it and would be weeks before it came in. When i got home I crawled underneath the truck just to look it over a bit and found that my New Puppy Dog had chewed the wiring harness. Wired it back up with some wiring connectors and shrink tape and drove it for years no problems. Moral of the story is sometimes these guys just simply overlook what should be be obvious.

Might be worth reseating all of the connectors. Strange to me that both position sensors would fail at the same time. If you can find pinouts for the connectors on the trans that might be a start for troubleshooting...make sure proper voltage is at the pins necessary. If they are sensor pins going back to the PCM or TCM, I’d assume they are fed by a 12V line.
