urgent help needed - 2003 Odyssey tranny?

Need some wisdom from forum members. Just went through a car wash and immediately afterwards my tranny acted up. TCS and check engine light went on and the D for the gear selector display is blinking green. Immediately after pulling out of the car wash it seemed like the tranny did not want to shift into second gear. I pulled over waited a minute and it seemed to shift better but the warning lights are still on.

167,000 miles on original tranny...my guess is that it is shot but it seems so off that it happened right after the car wash. I changed the ATF fliud at every 7,000 miles so it is well taken care of.

Could it be that my tranny is shot or did something electrical get wet causing the problem? Honda dealership can't get me in till tomorrow.

Thanks

If the tranny created enough heat to toast a sensor, there would be no hope for rubber parts like o-rings. All FWD cars with automatic transmissions bolted to the engine block suffer from heat saturation. So while I don't disagree with the heat issue, I suspect the sensor is just poorly designed. Overheating causes bigger problems than a cooked sensor.

That said, 167,000 miles and counting on the original tranny isn't bad. Glad you got the problem fixed. :)
