The dealer can read your code remotely now and tell how much gas in tank

It is most likely the gear shift sensor for your fold flat gear shifter for the mobile work station option. Part may be backorderd but it is easy fix - about an hour. You will probably need a software update too to resolve the latest brake boost recall
