First make sure that the petrol filler cap is on tight (if its a non cap type of filler that is okay). get a scan done and report back what the code is so we can check it out and advise what has caused it to come on, start here.

i would not expect that the range switch would be the cause, i would clear the code and do a general tune and see if that improved things, a faulty range switch would normally stop the engine starting, i would also get an on demand transmission scan done, this will look deeper into the transmission electrical system, just in case there is a deeper problem there.

Yes it sounds like the transmission range sensor is out and needs to be replaced. Here is a guide to help you test to confirm the failure.
