When I got in my car the D. In drive mode started blinking along with the engine light coming on. Also when driving when on the gas the gadge goes up to 3 stays there then drops Mechanic's Assistant: Just to clarify, can you tell me which light it is? And does it blink first, then stay on steady? The engine light just came on. When shifting from park into drive. The D constantly blinks Mechanic's Assistant: What is the make/model/year of your car? 2010 Honda Civic Mechanic's Assistant: Are you fixing your Civic yourself? What have you tried so far? It just started like 10 min ago. My daughter drive it 15 min away to her place of employment. I've done nothing yet

Ok, you may have a bad 3rd or 4th clutch pressure switch. Its a switch the controls pressure fluids through the [transmission](/topics-transmission-honda/). You will need to get this to a repair shop asap before any transmission damage is done

Ok. The vehicle is an automatic
Automotive Expert
i understand, you still have clutches inside the transmission. All cars have clutches, a manual transmission is just that, you manually moves the clutches. A automatic is just as it sounds, it automatically moves the clutches

Ok
