Need some help fellas: Maint Req'd and D light
Ok this has been happening for about 2 weeks now. It started a day after I passed reinspection at the DMV (thank god, otherwise I'd have much trouble from the froots at the DMV).
Ok, so I start my car. On the [P R N D D2] indicator column (applies for automa trannys), the D (drive) light turns on. I always leave the shifter in P (park) position, so it was is park. The light P (park) on the [P R N D D2] indicator column is always on until I shift to another gear (as usual). Also, the Maint Req'd light blinks about 5 times (a few seconds). But after a few seconds, the guages looks exactly as normal (the same as they were 2 montsh ago).
Cliffnotes: I turn on car that's still in Park position, car thinks it's in Drive for a few seconds. Maint Req'd lights also blinks for a few seconds.
I haven't toy'd with my guages yet, so don't think it's that way.
What's up, what should I do. I'm going for a 15,000 mile checkup maybe this weekend, so hopefully my warrantee will cover it. But if there's something I can check/do myself to solve this annoyance, I want to handle it. I don't want to have to shell out some cheddar if there is a charge for it.

Rep Power: 0 did he just say cheddar?[IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG] j/p man I really don't know what the problem is, but Id have to say let honda deal with it(hope you have a warranty). It doesnt seem like an ordinary and easily fixable problem, so If I was you I wouldnt try messing with anything like the ecu or taking the gauges apart, then you could get yourself into an even worst situation

You got me. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/IMG]
I are

Just didn't want people jumping to conclusions: "Oh it's gotta be because you swapped clusters."
I'm pretty sure it isn't that coz it only started two weeks ago, and I changed it over 8 months ago.
