Shift lever or something else

Went to put the truck in drive and my shifter seemed gummed up or slow, also noticed the little d indicator didn’t light up, but it still drove fine no limp mode or anything like that, then the trac control light came on and the check engine light, so I just kept driving of coarse. Got home turned it off then on, lights were still there, drove fine still, so I wiggled the shift lever around and the d indicator light came on. Still felt gummed up though. No lights or anything on my drive earlier in the day. What gives? Any ideas? 2016 OR

 

Clean linkage/cable at/on transmission and lube it. Other threads recently on this.

 

can you point me in the right direction, my search only brought up 2nd gen topics

 

You need to crawl under truck, you will see where linkage/cable connection is. Clean and lube it. Road grime is culprit.

 

If the illuminated ( D ) is dropping out , I would suspect the range sensor or bad wiring
