Default 6th gear light quit working

Got 2013 TG, and when you are in 6th gear, a light on the mph gage lights up showing a no. 6. I noticed it working in the past, but yesterday it quit working. Any ideas?

The ECM illuminates the indicator based on speed and RPM - there is no sensor. The LED itself could be faulty or possibly the speed sensor itself is not providing good data.
