I have the same year but a lx and mine does the thing with the light.Except it shifts kind of funny until I go through the gears a couple of times then the light starts blinking and it shifts fine after that.I've been told that light means something is wrong and it should throw a code.Have you tried to check your tranny fluid for shavings?I would do that because it's easy and if you have metal shavings in the fluid there's no need to look any further.
