I have a 94 honda accord 4 door & my DRIVE 4 light keeps flashing when i drive. Sometimes it stays the solid light but will go back to the flashing...any ideas what is going on ???

 

yes I do..say goodbye to your trans cause it is leaving you.

Short the 2 pin connector under the glovebox to see what the code is.

You may get lucky and it is only one of your solenoids which you will need to find a replacement for.

However our autos when they start to go, they like to finish the job.

 

well...thanks for ruining my night
But also thanks for the info, Ill be taking a look to see what can be done

 

some people have gotten a year or more out of a trans that is going bad.

Have you done a drain and fill with Honda Z1 fluid yet?

The write up on how to check your codes is in the DYI section of this site.

 

Not yet, im gonna pull it in the shop tomorow and get serious

we think its the speed sensor, tues - honda is gonna take it an find out whats up

 

The dealership is by far the most expensive place to bring your Honda for repairs.

 

Shorting that two pin connector is simple to do to find out what code(s) your TCU is storing. In the common diy thread on top of the gen tech help forum, there is a link to checking engine codes that will describe what you should do.

Post the codes on here.

 

I thought they would be decent since they hooked me up in the past but today they acted like aliens.

Bought abunch of the v1 fluid to flush it tomorow while I get the codes, once I get them Ill post it up. I have a 95 accord also for a parts car and everything is there (just rolled it over) so if it is the trans I got another to switch.

stay tuned...

 

pull the codes before you flush it.

the Z1 fluid might be best saved for the new trans from your donor car.

 

good idea... i checked the tran fluid N the ****s dark black instead of red. whoever had this car didnt take care of it
