Please Help. Won't go into "R"

I was coming home from brothers house. My car backed up fine, on the way home I turned off the VSC like I usually do, I was not driving the car hard, I was manually shifting (auto). The forward gears are fine, Never had an issues. When I tryed to put it into "R" it wouldn't going into "R" The light on the dash showed I was in "R" but the "D" was flashing also.. I filled the Auto trans (with Honda fluid) Still the same. I disconnected the (-) terminal on the Batt for 5 min. Same thing, I checked some fuses, same thing. IU have the Master Manual (4" thick) Looked all over in it. I then noticed that the "VSC" Button was Off , yet I didn't turn it off when I was re-starting the car. The VSC Button Indicator (the little triangle) wont turn off. It now stays On, which is "VSC off. I have no idea. This car has given "0" problems. It has always been maintained with All Honda Fluids + Mobile. ?????
I think its electrical ????? At least "I HOPE" Please Help

P.S. A man wants to look at it sunday
I was at my brothers house in his heated garage cleaning it up and taking the sub, amp, cap out.

Dick.

JD-the flashing D indicates a code was thrown in the pcm. You'll have to take it to a dealer to get it read, I dont believe you can pull it with an obd 2 scanner. Also when you said you filled the trans, was it low on fluid or did you just do a drain and fill?

His name isn't dick. He was calling someone else that. I'm seriously concerned about your intellectual capacity after the original post and now this one.

An answer.
The CPU was shorted and needs replacing.
$191 to figure out what was wrong
$690 for new CPU.
And they gave me a brand new RDX AWD NAV TECH
No Charge. And its snowing out. WOW. A blast to drive.
Transmission is fine
Thankyou for the help.
GOD BLESS ALL
