While my wife was driving tonight the VSA light went on, the emergency brake light went on, and the “D” for drive was flashing green. She stopped the car and called me. One the Car was in park, it would not go back into the Drive, and it continued to flash green. I’ve tried pulling fuses, disconnecting the battery. The other issue is that The hazard lights will not work and the turning blinker will not function. i have determined its an electrical issue. other than that I’m clueless. Any help will be appreciated. thanks
I popped the button just below port just below the shifter and manually put in drive and drove it home… Big thanks to the Tow Truck guy for that hack!!!
A flashing “D” is the check transmission light. You can plug in a scanner to the port below your steering wheel and read the code and it will point you i the right direction. AutoZone and some other parts stores will read your code for free if you like (except in California) and with that, you can figure out what it is you need.
If Noodlelover ( has to be a story behind that screen name ) even gets some replies I hope he doesn’t tell the shop what to do . Just stand back and let them do their job .
@Noodlelover22_183120 , if you haven’t already, might be a good idea to see what the forum search links yields as well. Perhaps other posters in other threads here have mentioned this same problem. Link upper right this page.
A lot of people do take responses on a forum like this and try to tell the mechanic what to do. We don’t know you and aren’t sure whether you would do that or not. I’m glad you use information collected here to help you understand what might be wrong and use it to generate informed questions for the mechanic.
