Sounds like your resistor by your battery has gone bad or came undone. Just got check it out and make sure its all dandy.

Here is a pic from my website that shows it:
http://www.ryanmacdonald.com/car/howto/plug/plug1.JPG It it the yellow rectangle shaped resistor bolted to the body panel. It's the one with the grey plug attached to it and black thick wire. You can see with or without your battery in, but its easier to get to with it out. Unplug it fully then plug it back in nice and secure. See if that fixes your problem. If not, I'm someone here knows the correct voltage for it, and you could test it with a volt meter. Anyways, no harm will be done to your car. Quite a few people on here have unplugged theirs. As this will in essence make your car be power mode all the time. I personally felt the shifting a little to clunky to me, so I put mine back.

Ravi,
Here is the procedure for extracting error codes from your TCU. The 16 blinks just means that there is a code being stored. You'll have to run the self diagnosis to actually see what that code us. The "Power" light indicates transmission codes. The following self diagnosis will show any fault codes for the transmission. To perform the self diag test for EXISTING problems 1) Warm up engine by driving at speeds greater than 12mph. 2) Stop vehicle and turn ignition switch OFF. 3) Turn ignition switch ON and make sure POWER indicator lamp comes on. 4) Turn ignition switch OFF. 5) Move selector lever to D and turn manual switch ON. 6) Turn ignition switch ON. 7) Move selector lever to "3" and turn manual switch OFF. 8) Move selector level to "2" and turn manual switch ON. 9) Move selector lever to "1" and turn manual switch OFF. 10) Partially depress accelerator pedal (to turn idle switch off). 11) Check code as displayed on POWER light. Blinking once every 1/4sec is normal. To perform the self diag test for PREVIOUS problems 1) Warm up engine by driving at speeds greater than 12mph. 2) Stop vehicle and turn ignition switch OFF. 3) Turn ignition switch ON and make sure POWER indicator lamp comes on. 4) Turn ignition switch OFF. 5) Move selector lever to "1" and turn manual switch ON. 6) Turn ignition switch ON. 7) Move selector lever to "2" and turn manual switch OFF. 8) Move selector lever to "3" and turn manual switch ON. 9) Move selector lever to "D" and trun manual switch OFF. 10) Partially depress accelerator pedal (to turn idle switch off). 11) Check code as displayed on POWER light. Blinking once every 1/4sec is normal. Trouble codes: 11 Duty solenoid A 12 Duty solenoid B 13 Shift solenoid 3 14 Shift solenoid 2 15 Shift solenoid 1 21 ATF temp sensor 22 Atmospheric sensor 23 Engine revolution signal 24 Duty solenoid C 25 Engine torque control signal 31 Throttle sensor 32 Vehicle speed sensor 1 33 Vehicle speed sensor 2 ---------------------- Long blinks are counted as 10's and short blinks are counted as 1's. In other words, two long blinks and two short blinks would be a code 22. One lone blink and one short blink would be a Code 11 (which is likely what you'll get, but, check it anyway).
