If when you go to shift into drive or reverse it makes a slipping out (gears moving but not catching just grinding) make sure its out of 4wd or 4wd low ..... i had this happen to me just today. I went up a path in somewhat deep snow so i put it in 4wd somehow managed to turn in an extra click to 4wd low (only suppose to do that in while in neutral with your foot on the break) then while driving on the road tried to switch it back and the light stayed on and I got low speed due to it being low then when i stopped it must have went back to 2wd and the gears were out of place thus making it slip
