Blinking 'D' - Drive Sign In Honda Accord 2012 by kayceekleans(op): 8:20pm On Nov 10, 2016
Good evening Car gurus,

Please my trusted car gurus, I noticed my Drive sign started blinking yesterday, today I changed my gear oil with Mobil 220 but the blinking still occurred...

Any need to worry?

Awaiting your helpful comments

make sure the oil is a recommended type. Otherwise it may tell on your gear. The cause of the blinking D drive is as a result of a solenoid attached to your gear which has gone bad. That's what you need to change. Is your speedometer working?

Drain and put Honda DW1 transmission fluid. Hondas need a specific transmission oil.
I have driven the 2004, 2005 and 2006 Honda accords

OP, you should take your vehicle to a standard workshop and have it scanned and properly diagnosed. Various issues can cause a blinking D light and Your changing the ATF to Mobil 220 will only result to bigger problems in future.

accord 2012 what engine type? What you need first is a scan. If in lagos come for a free scan. 08033910382.

After that the scan will point to a defective part. (solenoid, pressure switch, speed sensor) replace part and blinking goes.

It's as. Easy as that.

Meanwhile you will have to drain completely the palm oil you have poured into yor transmission. It is not health and will cause damage slowly.

It could be electrical related. Check for a broken or faulty wiring from any of the Transmission sensors harness connector otherwise known as plug.

Your location?

If you're in Abuja, I MAY assist you to scan and also give you advice on what to do.

Well from experience, the blink is usually caused by a faulty speed sensor. I think you should run a scan before buying oil.

Not always. Even a shift solenoid malfunction can cause it
