[HELP!!]Drive Light Blinking

Hmm.. I am not sure what is wrong with my car but when I am driving it, sometimes the D light (Automatic) Blinks and transmission goes nuts feeling like 2nd gear is missing (it goes like first gear to third gear and stuff)
my CEL lights is on as well..
I dont want to take it to the dealer cause I have an alarm installed by my self and I am sure they are gonna bi*ch about that
I tried to turn off the CEL by resetting ECU but after while it came on again.
any possible help from you guys?

i think you should take out ur alarm system and bring it back to your dealer, because something must be wrong.!

honda shouldnt say **** about your alarm. How are they going to know you put it in? And they would need to prove that it caused the tranny to mess up.
I took my old car with auto start on it to the dealer when the tranny messes up and they didnt say **** about it. But it was alos a ford. But still they shouldnt say ****.

I had the same thing happen to my trans and apparently it was the gear position sensor (i think). You should definately take it in. And don't worry about the alarm - my car went in with an alarm, system, intake, lowered on 17" and all the guy said was, "Anything done to the transmission?" and that was the extent of the questioning.

Oh, and not too long ago I took my car in the same way I did the first time but this time it was a whole new trans. They ended up replacing a trans mount and motor mount for me cause they found them broken while reaplcing my trans, I didn't even know they were broken.
