I don't know what year and model you have. On my 02 4.4 the message came up and went in limp mode. It did this if the Truck idled in park for more than 5 mins. If you restated it.. it was fine.

I unplugged the wire to the Neutral safety switch, sprayed it with WD-40 and never had the problem since. I also found out on the 00-01 there was a TSB that the neutral safety switch causes the same issue so I change it anyway. Even though my 02 was not in the TSB range it was the same problem. The neutral switch allowed dirt to get in a corrode the contacts.

Way not check all the connections for corrections first. That was my problem.

Is the truck going into Limp mode?

Stars in 3rd gear and stays there and will not shift.

Is that when the truck talks back to you? Giving you lip service?

Change the inhibitor switch or neutral safety switch. Their is a TSB or recall, call the dealer first and see if they will change it for free. If not buy the new switch, it's easy to put on.
