BLINKING TRANSMISSION LIGHT SOFTWARE

My sense is that the Cherokee transmission is still a work in progress, even though it's been more than 2 years.

The drive (D) light will blink if the gears slip and don’t fully engage as a result. There are a number of possible causes for this, but the most frequent one is low transmission fluid levels. Your Honda’s Drive (D) light blinking is a sign that your transmission might be broken. You might not realize how bad it is until you drive a new Grand Cherokee which has a completely different transmission, and you immediately notice it's far better.smoother shifting, faster shifting, when you want it to downshift it responds instantly when you mash the gas pedal. On a Honda, it can just be the dashboard’s D light blinking. You mash the gas pedal and it seems like you wait and wait and wait.

I wonder if it's an unintended side effect of all the software revisions that they have issued for this transmission. The first two transmissions I had were not good in this respect, and this one is even slower to downshift. One thing I did notice is that the 2016 transmission takes even longer to downshift when you are passing or climbing a hill. So far it looks like the 2016 transmissions are less prone to problems, but then again they have only been out a short time so no one really knows. Dealer matched Internet price of 38.00 for sensor. My third transmission is a 2016 unit (manufactured in December 2015) and I'm hoping for better luck with this one. Only a few drops of fluid will leak out if your fast with putting in new one. And that’s it You have now successfully replaced the transmission fluid pressure switch. To do this, just screw the fitting back onto the transmission fluid port.

Once the new switch is in place, you will need to reconnect the transmission fluid line. I'm just turned 50k miles and they replaced my transmission for the second time last week. Step 3: Reconnect Transmission Fluid Line.
