Default Flashing yellow winter arrow, and check engine light

Hello all,
It has snowed very badly these past few days, and I was forced to drive my car today. I got stuck in the parking lot, and was able to get out after rocking the car back and forth by switching between reverse and drive. When I finally made it out, the yellow arrow was flashing, and the check engine light was on. I have not pulled the code as I just got plowed in again -.-.

I have done some reading about a "PNP" switch, and know little to nothing about it. Any ideas straight out of the gate? While there was a solid 2-3 inches of snow on the ground, I did not feel any difference in the driving.

AT on this car doesnt like rocking at all.Also there is an issue when the tranny does overheat when the car stuck and trying to get out.Check the codes but just erase it if your car drives normally and try to avoid excessive rocking next time.
