Hello! Welcome to Ask the Technician, High Road Automotive’s new blog where you can ask our technicians any car related question you may have. In addition to answering your questions we will also be posting general information about the automotive industry and critical information relating to the cars that we work on, such as Service Bulletins and Safety Alerts, so that you can stay up-to-date on the latest about your vehicle While our speciality is Japanese cars, you will find that much of the information posted here is applicable to most types of vehicles. As always, we will attempt to explain these highly technical topics in clear and easy to understand langauge, but if you are having trouble with any of the terminology, we invite you to make use of our Glossary, which can be found in the Resources section of our website. We hope you will check back with us frequently as we will be updating this blog with new content and answers to your questions on a  regular basis.

   I have a 2002 Honda CR-V and the D on the shift column is blinking. I have heard mixed answers. What do you suggest?

   Typically this means that the computer detected a fault somewhere in the transmission. A more specific diagnosis will require hooking the car up to a computer and downloading the specific code. We will be following up with you shortly seeking more information about your specific problem.
