Why is the Accord D gear indicator light flashing continuously?
1 Answers
D gear is the forward gear, also known as the drive gear. In this gear, the transmission automatically shifts between 1st gear and overdrive based on speed and throttle conditions, and is used for normal road driving. The flashing gear indicator light indicates that the vehicle has detected an internal transmission fault, triggering a time-limited protection that restricts gear shifting or high-speed functions. The reasons for the continuous flashing of the Accord D gear indicator light include: 1. The steering wheel is in a locked position. 2. Poor signal from the 2nd gear clutch pressure switch causing the D position indicator to flash. 3. Excessive input from the shift solenoid. 4. Electrical control failure in the transmission.
