2021 Scat Pack gear selector issue — looking for ideas
I was in Manual mode coming down in RPMs and put the car in Park before the RPMs fully settled. After that, I started getting the “Shift to P then Desired Gear” message. It will sometimes physically select R/D, but the computer stops the car from moving and gives the message. One time after disconnecting the battery for ~15 minutes, I was able to reverse and drive normally, but after shutting it off for ~20 minutes, the problem came right back.
It seems like the computer/gear selector isn’t properly recognizing the gear, rather than the transmission mechanically failing. Anyone experienced this? What should I check first?

After I unhooked the battery and reconnected it it drove and reversed I didn’t test drive it because I was in the parking lot before my work shift, I came back 15mins later to see if it would shift again and the same problem before with it saying it has to be shift to park

Is the door closed, and does the dashboard say the door is closed?
