D5 indicator flashin, TCS is on and Check Engine light is on
Does anyone know if it's safe to drive with Check Engine light on? It happen yesterday after I got off freeway my check Engine light TCS light are on and D5 is flashing after that check engine light won't go off. After that it skips second gear first gear go up to 5k rpm and a real hard jerk than go to 3rd gear. I call the dealer today they told if it's regarding the tranny than it's safe to drive. Does anyone know?

What your problem is?
D5 flashing means the worst has come.... your tranny is shot my friend. call the dealer and make the appointment to get that shit replaced.... Sorry to hear about it, but it is true and you need to check in on the failed tranny thread....

OK, if you have to drive on the highway for 50 miles to get to the dealership, then definitely don't risk it and call the dealership. If they won't do it, then call Acura Roadside Assistance. They will tow it to the dealership. The dealership should do it, though, since the bill would go to the same place, anyway (Acura corporate).
Also, there aren't two kinds of transmissions.. All replacement transmissions are refurbished units, and they supposedly have the "fix". But even those fail, so it sucks ass.
Good luck, and please don't drive it on the highway. If the dealership or Roadside Assistance give you shit for it, then tell 'em to suck a dick, because I, or anybody else here, certainly don't want to hear of another member spinning out and losing control on the highway because the transmission locked up.

Oh ya im on my 5th one so i know. and also Acura roadside is NOT ext along w/ the tranny warr. extention. so if you have over 50k mile you have no Acura Roadside, however they probably will tow it under "good faith" once.

Sorry to hear.
I am in Fremont with an 01 Black TL. 40k. No transmission problems (yet).
Were there any other symptoms before the lights came on?
Will the car even upshift into 5th anymore?
Check out Acura of Concord. They may be closer than Pleasanton for you.

I brought in my car last week and the custumer rep. ask me leave the car there and gave me a loaner. been a week now she called me and said they replaced the tranny and tested the tranny is defected and so they have to order me another one. It should be ready in another week.

Pleasanton gave me a TL-P loaner for 3 weeks cuz my parts were on back order when I brought it in. It was the vapor recovery system not the tranny. Thats why I normally take my car to them. Loaners are normally easy to get and they don't care if I have it for a few days if my car ain't ready.

if you have a 00 to 03 TL i believe that the tranny is warrantied to 100k. You may want to log onto acura.com and enter your vin to see if you have the "extended" coverage... 00TL here and covered for 100K. I just changed my tranny fluid and installed a tranny cooler. I SAW SMALL SILVER FLAKES IN THE FLUID!?! Okay you guys, all together now, is this a problem or not a big deal at all... feedback?
