This has been happening for a while now. I eventually got over the blinking "S" in my d@mn face after all these many months. But, the black electrical tape that I recently put over that area is really tacky-looking...

Funny thing is...the transmission shifts fine.

I ran a search and came up with some people who recommended resetting the transmission control unit, which I will try tomorrow.

The local dealer stated that the solenoids located on top and bottom of the transmission may need to be replaced...what do you guys think of this advice?

Thanks for any and all responses.

i had the same problem in my 4G and it was the speed sendor that needed to be replaced, not extremly expencive but that could be the problem

 

any symptons? e.g. hard shifts?

 

Thanks for the response...where is the speed sensor?

 

located on the top of the transmission, towards the rear. A bit of a pain in the tail to get to, but if you don't drop the sensor key like me , it's a 10 minute job
