Good evening Nairalanders, please I need a guide, my honda odessy 2003, whenever the engine is on, even without engaging the gear, the D (drive Light) keeps blinking and am scared of driving it. Please what should I do. Someone said it a switch, others say the geat oil is short but I have top the gear oil with 2 liters.

Kindly offer me a solution to the problem

Regards.

abituns:
Thanks, I will call an electrician to come and check all the wires for me this morning.

Thank you. Could it be under the car cos I learnt if the chest hit the ground, it may cause it. So what I want to know is that the switch, is it possible it will be under the gear or in the engine, just a guide pls.

Thanks

Gearbox sensors wiring and sockets are visible from the engine not from under.

Thanks for all the advise and guidance, I did a scan of the vehicle and this is what I got as error.

Below are possible causes of a P0141 code:
- Faulty Heated Oxygen Sensor (H2OS) Bank 1 Sensor 2
- Heated Oxygen Sensor (H2OS) Bank 1 Sensor 2 circuit fuse
- Heated Oxygen Sensor (H2OS) Bank 1 Sensor 2 circuit open shorted to ground
- Heated Oxygen Sensor (H2OS) Bank 1 Sensor 2 circuit poor electrical connection
- Faulty Engine Control Module (ECM)

The code means that there is a problem with the heater element circuit of the heated oxygen sensor. The control module monitors how long it take the sensor to warm up and start sending an adequate signal. The code is triggered when the sensor is taking too long to warm up. Water getting inside the heated oxygen sensor connector can caused the heated oxygen sensor fuse to blow. Before replacing the sensor, check for the condition of the heated oxygen sensor fuse and connectors. If the sensor and connector are OK, replacing the O2 Sensor 1 usually takes care of the problem.


However, the above will not trigger the D drive-light indicator to flick. Check the for a broken wiring on the gearbox like I earlier suggested.

honmusa:

Bros you are still are learner ,out of hundred of wiring going to gearbox which one are you suggesting for the op to check ,what if the wires are intact that .that suggestion is too vague and leave the op confused more than ever .If that kind of issue get to your workshop ,is that what you are going to start checking ?
Whenever you are troubleshooting an issue ,you work from simple to the advance

Itulah:


Something must be wrong with your brain. Did you read through the thread? The Honda gear box has up to 4 sensors attached, how will I tell which among the 4 with broken wiring. Any of the 4 sensors with a broken connection can trigger the D Drive-light indicator to flick. If you do not have any meaningful contribution I will recommend you shut your mouth.

Let see what you do for a living !
You are Otigba trained apprentice that is selling android software.
I am sure your Oga Emeka is not around that is what give you privilege to be using his laptop be spewing rubbish on public domain.
Why don't you face your android software selling business and stop disgracing yourself on what you are not sure about ? Honda gearbox having 4 sensors and you are not even sure which of them have broken wire ?imagine see dumb statement from a dull slowspoke!!!!

Itulah:


Like I said earlier, "something is definitely wrong with your brain" and that is my final note.

cocoduck:
Op you still haven't told us what Type of ATF he put in your tranny

abituns:
I couldn't place my hand on the ATF, but I don't think that would have been the reason why the D light is blinking. Like I chat with you now, it still blink and atimes it will stop on it own for days and other days it will start the blink again.

ataspray:
the fact that the op still does not know what ATF went into his tranny sha...

cocoduck:
hey Guys, easy easy, it is normal for tempers to flare but cmon calm your nerves, both of you are right, okay? However, the op should drain the oil, and see if there are any gritty particles, like iron fillings or clutch materials, if any is present, then he needs a new gearbox. I and hon musa asked him to do something, which he hasn't.

seyiojomu:


By the way, its ok to find iron filling and metal grits in the drained gear oil. The drain plug bolt is manufactured with a special magnetic substance that collects this metal fillings. You can see it wen u loose d bolt and move your fingers on the end that goes into the drain hole. Even a car less that 5000km will show this sign.

What is unhealthy is burnt color of drained oil, foul smell and low quantity.

those materials are metal particles, clutch materials etc, if it is just burnt oil, just drain and put new recommended oil, and you must do a regular maintenance, oils degrade when subjected to heat, and the tranny generates lots of it when for example towing, these oils have friction modifiers and other components in them to ensure your tranny works well, so if you use the wrong oil or don't change the oil when due the oil will become less slippery and loose viscousity, what it means now is that components now rub against each other without lube, what is it? it will simply wear, they will scratch each other and wear out, just as you use a grinder to smoothen steel surface, then your gearbox will slip. So metal particles in a gearbox oil means the gearbox need to be rebuilt or thrown away, if it is simply burnt, you are lucky, but you must not allow it to get to that extent.

seyiojomu:


I totally still agree with you..but for someone who doesn't know as much as me and you do, this will be too much information for him...
its safe if you let him also know that no matter the amount of care given to your tranny, it is bound to deteriorate and require rebuilding or replacement eventually, the level of care and attention given is only what determines the longevity.

I guess the OP has the answer to his question now anyway ; let him drain and let him check his range selector switch. by the way, genuine Honda Genuine ATF fluid is between =N= 4500- =N= 6000 depending on where you get it in Lagos. You can always check Oyingbo Honda market or visit accredited Honda Service centres in the country
