2004 Transmission light comes on intermittently...

I bought my 04 TL used about 2 months ago from Car Sense. It has 11000 miles on it but did not come with a manual. It is an automatic. Anyhow, today on the PA turnpike, the yellow transmission light blinked on and off a couple of times (I was watching the road and happened to notice it) then it went away. WTF does that mean? Do I need to get it looked at?

I did a search and saw nothing on this.

its a little yellow light, that looks to be in the shape of a transmission, on the instrument cluster. Again, I have no manual, so I am speculating.

Sounds like the "Check-Engine" light. I dont know of there being a Tranny light.

If it's a check engine light, you would have to bring it back to Acura or to a shop with a scan tool to check what triggered the engine light.

I have read somewhere that a flashing engine light means the engine was misfiring. I am not 100% sure though.

Your best bet is to bring it back to the dealer and have them look at it.

Probably the MIL light. I have had mine go off a few times but, my dealer never finds any codes. I believe there is a TSB for this but, if I remember right my dealer said it didn't apply to my car. I still have over a year and almost 20K miles left on warrenty so not too worried about it for now.

Probably will push the issue more in the spring / summer though.
