Integra_boomer Posted July 4, 2010 Report Share Posted July 4, 2010 Ok this problem is getting really bad now. I have a 1990 integra with the b- series (b18a1) motor, automatic version and i think its having ecu/transmission problems. along time ago the car would not start and the s3 gear( special highway gear that i knw knothing about) would flash. when i did get it started it would still flash and the car would be sooo slow like it was the tranny. and the s3 gear would flash constently, but when i went were i needed to go and turned the car off, it started back up just fine. Well here i am 6 months later and its doing it again and more progressivly, EVERY time i turn it off it will do this and to start it up i have to disconnect the batt. so thats y i think its an ecu prob. Normally when i turn the car to acc the s3 gear comes on the goes off, then i start the car. that part is normal, but it has to have something to do with the s3 and that gear,(a gear that is not used to drive the car) but for some reason it flashes when i was having the prob so i think its a code or something. Tell me what you guys think Heres a pic of my dash, the s3 gear is the fifth one down on the left. this gear comes on when i turn the key over to acc and then makes a clicking noise and goes off, which again i think is normal. But this gear was flashing when i couldnt start my car and when i had it running and flashing the car would take of real slow.

Integra_boomer Posted July 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2010 (edited) http://autorepair.about.com/library/faqs/bl025i.htm a little info on the S3 http://www.honda-tech.com/showthread.php?t=753670 blinking codes http://www.acura-legend.com/vbulletin/f2/tcu-code-information-97241/ Thanks man this info is very usefull, explains my car will start back up when i disconnect the batt. , because it resets the TCM (transmission control module). Now my cars working fine but who knows when it will mess up again, its been doing it alot these past two days so whatever is wrong mite b getting worse. so now i just have to wait for it to mess up again and hopefully read the l.e.d code on the TCM and figure out the prob Edited July 5, 2010 by Integra_boomer Quote 1995 Integra GSR (DB8) Pioneer 3200-DVD 6.5 rockford fosgate 2-way fronts 6.5 rockford fosgate 3-way rear saz-3000D (2) 12" SA-12s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
