Last night i was driving through downtown detroit and hit a pretty big pothole and my D5 light started blinking. It stopped after i turned the car off and on. A little later i hit another pothole (BOTH of them were giant holes in Woodward Ave that i coudln't dodge because the road was one fucking narrow lane due to construction) and it started going apeshit. After i parked and turned the car off, it wasn't blinking when i restarted. No check engine light.

Anything to worry about?

 

That is what starts happening when you are about to lose the transmission. I am not sure being it is happenong when you hit something.

 

From the "owners’ link" on the www.acura.com website:

The following is an excerpt from the extended warranty (7yr/100k miles) section (they talk about what is ok and what is not. The blinking D5 indicator is NOT ok):

 

go to the dealer and have them scan it just to be safe

 

Sounds like the tranny bomb

 

if the engine rocks too much then you'll get a light.....i've had it happen with bad wheel hop in my AT and MT CLs....

 

That would be the safe bet. The OBDII codes will tell all.

 

That's probably it, i haven't had any problems with the tranny.

I'll call the dealer on Monday.

 

Best Idea. Hopefully it was just that the car was jarred too much and just a fluke.

 

this happened to me today...i redlined at 7krpm tcs turned on and i couldnt use tip anymore.

 

doh..

 

i'd park it or call roadside and have em tow it, just to be on the safe side
