Diesel like ticking after acceleration

Diesel like ticking after acceleration
At a loss, I have only used premium(93), routine maintenance is up to date and I am getting a hollow "ticking" sound when letting off the gas pedal while in gear, does not happen while out of gear.
Possible KS or...
I have had the Park Neutrlal switch code for sometime but was told this should affect nothing except the reverse lights coming on- was I given bad info.
Thank you in advance...
Edit- I did Seafoam the car recently and the ticking/knocked started a week or two after, anyone else have similar issues?

Something has probably gunked up the IVT solenoids. You should be able to pull them off and blow them out with compressed air. Hopefully the problem is there and not in the internal oil passages leading up to them.
When you did the Seafoam, was that to clean out the throttle body or did you use it as an oil flush? If you didn't use it as an oil flush, then you might want to consider doing an oil flush and see if that knocks anything loose.

Op: I used brake cleaner to blow out the solenoid and sprayed some down the oil passages. Problem solved for me.
