Default Warning Light Question

I have a 1991 Accord LX. What does the green blinking "S" on the dashboard mean?

Depending on what year, the tranny controller either uses the "S" lamp or the "D" lamp the same way as the check-engine light. You can read the code pretty much the same way as you read CEL codes.
