Default 2008 LR3 will not change gears when in drive.

Suddenly my engine, abs,(!), light have all come on. As well as a F on the bottom right screen.
The car drives but is stuck in second gear when in drive.
Took it to my shop Oil is clean transmission oil is clean, no leaks what so ever.
Car fires up great, drives great(in one gear lol) but even after rest of the system the light come right back on without even driving just on start up (when I took it to the shop he did all his checks(took about a hour) and could find the root of the issue not even a leak.....) Not sure if any of this info helps but I share in hopes that this might help diagnose this issue.
Any idea what this can be?

Thanks in advance for taking a look!

Could be a dirty ground, water intrusion, sensor fault, corroded connection at module, fluid leak at the senor plug on the trans faulting the shifter etc. What codes are being set?

Well a faulty camshaft sensor could cause limp mode, which is maybe what you are in right now. Cause the rest of the codes are pretty common except torque, but that could be of the limp mode.

I would inspect/test the camshaft sensors. Make sure they are plugged in. Both are easy to get to, the driver side is on the upper forward end of the valve cover. It sticks up and out of it. Has a rubber circular gasket around it. The plug attaches at a 90 degree angle. The passenger side is in the same spot but more work to get to since its under the PCV valve. I am not sure which one the fault is coming from though based on your code.
