"Service Transmission" error

Hi all,
So I have the 6 speed, and had the clutch replaced at the stealership in August.
2020 JTR with 105000KM (~65000 miles).

About 9 days ago, the throwout bearing decided to seize and give up the ghost. I didn't bother with going back for the service/warranty, since I knew I would be swapping to a centerforce clutch. So, that pooched bearing forced my hand, and I did it with my dad last week. Cool. It is driving now. But today, I got a 'service transmission' message on the dash screen. No actual DTC/MIL codes. It remained on for a few ignition cycles and some driving around the city/freeways. Then on my last ignition cycle, there was no mention of it anywhere. It doesn't make any noises, no vibrations, etc.

Three-ish months ago I did all the fluids with the manual's recommended stuff - Transmission, t-case, front and rear diffs. No leaks, everything has been smooth.

So aside from the obvious (probably a bad sensor or wiring connection, which I will investigate shortly tonight) - what other problems will trip that error message?

do you have a programmer on the Jeep?

Have you had this code before the repair?

I'd try resetting the Jeep - disconnect both battery grounds and let it sit for minimum 20 minutes to let it reset.

No programmer (Like tazer, etc)
I've never had it before.
I could try a soft reset - it was unplugged all of last week.
But like I said, last time I drove it today, it had no messages....
 
Well, let the tears start pooling...
I see a fresh BB from my new bearing in the little vent slot at the bottom of the bell housing. 😭

Such a big job to change that bearing. Didn't even get one day of driving. Going to pay a clutch shop for it this time. $$
