My ranger 400 has a shifting selector for automatic and esp. I am having an issue with it switching to esp while the selector is on auto. The switch is not loose. It does it at all different times. When it stays in auto it runs just fine, until it switches over to esp on it’s own that is. When it goes into esp and I put it in reverse it barely moves and just sputters. Switching the selector between esp and auto doesn’t correct the problem. I have to put it in neutral, shut it off, wait several seconds and then turn it back on tiger it back into automatic. Sometimes I have to go through this proces 2-3 times to get it back into automatic.

When it switches to esp the display no longer shows N, D, or R it either displays dashes or flashes ESP.

Anyone know how to correct this?
