1st thing is to check the ATF fluid level

presume you got 'Automatic Gearbox' on the display?

not sure error message  comes on display - on my 51 Eilte 3.2  I picked up the fault code off the pedal test - changed the ATF and filter and fingers crossed everything ok.

Could be selector switch. Do all the light light up on the gear selector?
