This is most likely the transmission shift actuator that is trying to engage, and it is not able to, or it is otherwise finding an issue and turning the light on.
What I would suggest is checking for codes and I suspect there will be shift solenoid codes or some other electrical codes that will point to this issue.

However, if the light comes on and the vehicle is able to be driven then I still suspect this is the same issue but it is just taking longer than it is expecting and so it sets the light.
No matter what, we need to find the codes that go with the light that is coming on so that we are not guessing.
Along with the codes we need to check the level and condition of the fluid because that is going to give us a good idea as to what the issue could be.

Please let us know what you find with this.
