...be the problem? I have a 93 Honda Accord LX automatic. As I sat idol after I started it I heard a click click. I looked up an noticed that the D4 was lit up. Keep in mind, I was in park. I turned the car off, put my key in the unlock slot on the gear shift in hopes to correct the issue, and restarted my car. Again, click click with the D4 light on. I had to get home, so I put it in reverse and the D4 light stayed on. I drove to the auto supply store thinking that the transmission fluid might be low. My car was a little slow when I accelerated. It seemed like it wouldn't shift to the next gear. Couldn't figure out where to check the fluid and so I got on the computer. Which led me to thinking that the Automatic Transmission Control Unit might be going out. Is this something that I can take to a mechanic and have him hook it up to diagnose? Auto-zone says that they can't help since my car is so old. I didn't get any results with the paper clip trick and counting the flashes that they suggested. Any other tips or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
 
it is in the console ? there is a device that selects shift position as you shift/select 1,2,3,d,d4.etc .if it says d4 and doesnt change in any other foreward gears,its taking off in d4-instead of first and shifting up automatically.this is slipping the transmission-bad for it.this is like taking off in fourth gear instead of first with a standard (not auto transmission).try looking up gear position selector at; Auto Zone.com (repair) this site is free and you simply choose vehicle repair,put year,make,model-then choose the area...drivability or transmission.good luck.
