S light is solid and not blinking (I've Searched)

91 Accord LX Auto

My brother just purchased it today and it will not go past 2nd gear. I also noticed that the S light is constantly on. I have seen on the forum where most people state that theirs is blinking, but it is on solid. I do plan on changing the fluid this weekend but I was just wondering would could it be. Thanks

Try pulling the code, if the light stays solid, the tcu is shot

Thanks for the tip. I have a 95 EX manual and have no idea about checking the TCU code in a automatic. Would it be the same as checking the OBD1 check engine light or is there a seperate harness somewhere else?

Exactly the same as the engine code sir. Just watch the S light.

Behind the glove compartment?

the tcu i believe is nect to the ecu on the floor passenger side. under the carpet where your feet it, towards the firewall. it sounds to me also the tcu is shot, my s light blinked the day after i got it but my speedo stopped working so it was the vss, search the internet for how to check the code, it is easy to do i think, gotta make a jump connection between two points somewhere by the tcu and ecu, correct me if im wrong

Sorry, I meant is the harness to check the code S light code behind the glove compartment like the CD5's.

Under the glove compatment floating aroud the area of the passengers kickpanel by the door.

Thanks for your help folks. I found the wire and jumped it to only find that the "S" light did not blink but stayed on solid. As posted above, this would mean that the TCU is shot, correct? If so, I will order another one or check around at the salvage yards and see if I can find a inexpensive one.

Most likely, that's the case, yes.

They should be pretty cheap in salvage yards. Or check on ebay, or the Classifieds on this forum.
