Figures.
As long as there aren't any CELs on the cluster, then your tranny isn't completely gone.
You may want to look into a tranny flush if it hasn't been done recently, then invest in a tranny cooler to slow down the aging process.

Honda might rape you for the tranny flush, so if you decide to go to a local shop, make sure actual Honda ATF is used.

They're all the same deal to me. B&M, Hayden, and Comptech are the only ones that come to mind right now.
Got this from V6P:
