I have a 91 honda accord ex with the 4 speed auto trans. The S or sport light on the dash starts blinking intermittenly and the transmission skips 2nd gear when up shifting. it doesnt do it all the time its only done this about 3 or 4 times and i've just pulled over and shut the car off and start it back up and it doesnt come back on the rest of the time im driving. I checked the codes with the jumper wire and the code read out was 7 with the S light. I've also researched some on a few other sites and I found it has something to do with the exterior transmission solenoids. Anyone have any advice on what to do?

Thanks for posting the link to this other thread. I havent had a chance to look at any of the connections on my honda yet but I will soon and I will give feedback on whats going on

I know the trans. code 7 is for the shift solenoid would anyone know any cheap places online or anything to find one?

Don't get many replys on this site. Well the car started doing it more often, the light would come on and keep blinking all the time so I checked all my wiring for the shift control solenoid. I pulled the tcu and found no burnt resistors or anything so after checking everything I just replaced the shift solenoid and that fixed the problem for about 2 weeks or so. Now I'm back with the same problem. Anyone have any ideas or advice?

Same code? I'd double check the connector going to the solenoid. They can get dirty and cause a poor connection.

alright thanks i'll have to check it out when ever I get a few mins of time. If that's not it I'll probably pull the tcu again and check for burnt resistors or leaking capaciters

Well I drove it to work today and no light the whole time I drove it and shifted great. I'm gonna check my connections and then disconnect the battery to clear the code. Not sure if I disconnected the battery when I put the shift solenoid on so maybe this will help
