I wonder if this is related to forgetting to set the park cylinder rod when reinstalling the mechatronics unit. If you are unable to shift out of park, this would be the cause.

Yes i sorted out that problem while i was working on the transmission i didnt disconnect my battery nd i switched di ignition on while the transmission was pulled down so it throw that error message but after disconnecting the battery for a few seconds it cleared.

I've found out that the shift lock solenoid is not in the transmission it is where the shifter is and over a period of time sometimes dirt and coins can get in where the shifer is and mess with the solenoid. That is a next way of finding if that is the issue at hand or def your transmission.
