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.

Procedure is in the "How To" personal locker. Click "personal lockers" at the top of the page, then, scroll down to the How To locker.

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.
