Shifter stuck from D to N

Hi everyone,

Today I noticed a problem with my automatic transmission. While in traffic I shifted to N but in the screen it would still show D and when shifting back to D, there was some kind of kick. Also the shifter didnt go up to R or P. Turned the car off and then back on and in the screen where D is supposed to be was just a white square and no C or S in the box next to it. After a couple of turning off and on everything was ok.

Any ideas could help.

Thanks in advance

Read fault codes. But most likely a faulty selector lever module

Lot of posts on that, and instructions on removing the center console to get to it.
I picked up one at the junkyard picknpull 1//2 price day for like 15 bucks.
You gotta be quick though to get them, and the connection are specific to the years.

I picked up one from the junkyard as well. Replaced the entire center console. Everything seems to be working fine so far. No fault codes. Hope it keeps doing fine.

Thanks everyone
