Viper Alarm giving CEL

I got a Viper alarm installed a little while ago and i get a check engine light for "park/neutral switch input circuit" Also my key light goes on in the dash in every postition but neutral or park. Obviously i have an AT, anyone know things i can check before causing a fuss?

Has it been like that ever since you got it installed? Do you remember if your installer was poking wires with a test light? You can try to reset the ecu and see if that makes it go away or not
