S3 flashes in my automatic rt4wd wagon

astuto

ok.... the first time this happen was like two months ago, the s3 light on the cluster start flashing even when the car was on drive.... i put it on neutral and kept flashing the s3 symbol. two months later, yesterday, started doing the same for the whole day... i do not know what is it. i hope is something just with the cables because i do not feel anything bad when it shifts. any idea guys.

ok after searching for the past 10 minutes i cant find the thread soooo...

it means, your tranny is on the fritz and you need to have it checked out. basically.

i do not have the owners manual, i bought my car in an auction. it happen like two months ago like for couple minutes after i shut the car down then i turn on the car again and the s3 was not flashing but after i start driving it it started doing that after 5 minutes. then it did not happen until now but yesterday did not do anything of that... weird shit but next week my car is going to the body shop so im going to ask the guy why is happening this... it has to be some cables stuff hopefully because i dont feel any change when it shifts

searching can be a tedious way of looking for a solution ?

did you checked your fluid for instance ...
if you change fluid, strongly suggest hondamatic <---
checked your ECU
checked your sensor and cables from and to the tranny

btw Wago, i found a thread you mentioning s3 but s4 ?
