I'm 90% sure it's my fault that I either broke a wire/cable, or loosened a sensor. I was JUST climbing around the entire interior of the engine bay, to replace a head gasket (turns out I didnt have to.. found the problem after removing the entire engine bay's worth of guts..) and the car ran 100% fine prior to that.

Background: car ate it's timing belt, turned the thing to pixie dust, about a year ago. I rebuilt the entire top end, ported/polished, took my time, and it ran great for 10k+ miles after doing that. So it seems wildly coincidental to start RIGHT after I just pulled everything out and put it back in.

I replaced the 3rd/4th pressure switches as people suggested, and that didnt change anything. Nothing's unplugged that I can see.

will pull codes in the AM, just found my obd2 adapter after cleaning up. here's a video of what it's doing:

I probably won't be much help but I've never seen that. I just replaced the transmission in my 04 because it was slipping bad. I never had the blinking d or any codes, just slipping. Also I'm fairly sure if you unplugged something you'd get a CEL rather than that crazyness. Anyway I hope you get it sorted out and its nothing serious. Keep us updated

May not be of much help and I'm sure you have done this already, but just in case, have you double checked all engine to chassis grounds, it just looks like a chassis ground is broken or missing? other thing to check is a plug or connector around the fuse box making a bad connection or broken wire at the back of a connector.

stuff like this will be my course of action on it this evening. it wasnt slipping or anything prior to this. i patched the car up, cranked it, and it stuttered and died when i turned on the AC, but i attributed that to a disconnected sensor drawing vacuum on the back of the engine and shrugged it off.

took it out, gave it a test drive, car pulled hard all day. putted around for a few more minutes, and parked it. wife drove it to work, just fine, came home, just fine, and it died right outside the house with this code. sure seems to point towards a broken circuit, bad ground, etc.

anybody know if the 2007 is the same sensors and bellhousing as the 2005? i would think being in the same gen, that they'd almost have to be, but i want to be sure. there's local transmissions for $600 with low miles that i'd like to pick up as a spare or just in case it really is the transmission going.

07-08 transmissions are different from I know than the 04-06's. That's why when I replaced mine out in my 04, I put an 07 Accord tranny, instead of an 08 TL one like I originally wanted

07+ TL have the RL tranny. Sensors are different.

turns out it was a loose ground..


been reading about the '07 accord swap. are those transmissions really any better or is it just an effort to get away from our turd transmissions?

pohljm

Which ground point was it?

CaliBud916

Awesome, glad you got it figured out. Was it the ground right on the transmission housing?

From what I've read, the accord transmissions seem to have had less problems than the TL ones. Imo a late model accord was better because there was no way in hell I was going to swap in a high mileage early model TL tranny. Also for me another benefit was price, I found my 07 accord transmission for ~700 with shipping included
