Tranny problem

The owner's handbook says if this light blinks "for 8 seconds or more" after ignition ON, there may be a problem with the transmission control circuits. See your dealer.

There will probably be a code saying what the problem is. Do a search on code reading, you will be able to find out what the TCU thinks is wrong.

Best of luck.

Joe

Power blinks

Yeah, your getting a code. Do a search of the sight and follow the posted directions to answer the code. It will then tell you what's wrong.

I had 1 long flash followed by 16 quick flashes. And my rear wheel drive wasn't working. Try accelerating hard on wet pavement, around a corner, from a dead stop. If you spin the inside front really bad, then there is a solenoid burned out, which is replaceable. That's all I Know.
