Transmision light blinks when using sequential sport shift.....anyone else????

I was messing around with the sequential sport shift and when I accelerated hard between 2nd and 3rd gear a light started to blink ,for about 30 seconds, on the right side of the head light indicator. Im assuming it was the transmission light that blinked. Has this happened to anyone else??

That's the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (see page 51 of the manual).

Click on this link and there are several threads about this.

Also click on the sticky at the top of the first page. Rets did a lot of work on this.

If you were losing traction, it could have been your traction control light blinking. It blinks when you lose traction.
