Any other lights on? As in ABS or Brake lights? How does it shift through the gears? There are 2 sensors that can be the problem. Speed sensor on side of tranny and speed sensor on top of rear diff.

If you aren't getting a CEL, and none of the other lights are on, may be a cluster problem.

I'd replace the sensor on the rear diff anyway.
