Default Code throwing D2. -updated, help.. :(

This just started a week or so ago. The tranny has been doing the M and S light once in a while. And today I've noticed that when in D the red light at the shifter doesn't light up and D does not show next to the odometer. All the other positions do though.

Service engine light came on and occasionally flashes but stops.
I had it go away on its own twice but it'd come back the next day randomly.

This is what I got with the OBD reader I have. Dammit so many things.. any ideas?

Thanks

I'd guess voltage.

Going to move this to the Disco II forum for you maybe some of the smarter guys will be more help.

Everywhere I look it seems to be voltage. That's so strange.
Can a low voltage battery start the engine ok?

I'm guessing the battery is bad then. It's a new battery from last year. I went to Advance Auto Parts to have them test the battery and it passed the tests along with the alternator though.

I will try a new battery, I suppose that's worth a try before an expensive trip to the shop.

Yes it can be like an anomaly
Truck starts up and limps along
Are you reading live data? 13.8 or better?

The guy with the tester unit was having me run through the test with him. He tested with car off, then had me start it and what not. I don't know what happened to the slip of paper with the test results but I remember seeing 14v or something like that when the motor was running. and we were at 12 something with it off

Dammit. So new battery seems to have made the lights go away but it may have just reset all the codes, unsure.
However now it gives me the oil can light. I checked the oil and stupid me forgot I just cranked the motor so it will be low and added too much.
Going to have to drain it now, oh well it was due for an oil change anyways

oil light on while running?? that can be an engine killer. oil pump gears may have bit the dust.
that is an oil pressure light not an oil level low light.
03 how many miles?

155k
It was fine before I swapped the battery. I've only seen the light twice before since 143k
It came on because I was very low on oil once after a head gasket job. Only on inclines. Checked the oil it was non existent so I put oil in and it was happy.
Second time many miles later light came on. Checked oil again and saw it was low. It happens towards the end of the oil change cycles I've noticed. Right now I'm 500 miles from my next cycle.
Oil was low like before so I added more except now I'm over and have to drop some out.

Found out my oil issue. It was just very low. The dipstick tube was probably coated in oil and was lying to me.
I drained the oil and refilled with new oil and the pressure is fine.

Good news I suppose. Checked the codes again after the service engine light came back and am facing slightly different codes
Looks like 5 and 7 misfire is consistent. I should pull the plugs to check it.
Any ideas on the others?
The transmission feels like it shifts normally and fine. All the positions indicate properly on the instrument cluster and on the shifter lever.

What's a pending fault anyways?

Pending has not cleared. It was present and may or may not be a current issue
