as posted in this forum earlier, here's the update...
problems:
- both "L" and "2" lights stay ON when gear in "L" or "2" position, sometime when shifting through the gears.
- "MANU" light stays ON all the time but goes OFF at times.
what i've done so far:
- checked ATF condition and still reddish in color.
- DIY error code diagnosis using paperclip trick, both O/D and CEL flashing constantly which means normal/no error code stored.
- removed the MANU switch connector (located under the gear-shift compartment) and turned the ignition to ON but "MANU" light still stays ON.
- took it out for a short drive and run through all the gears, it seems ok despite all those weird lights still showing on the dash panel.
out of curiosity, could it be:
- Neutral Starter Switch problem?
- gearbox speed sensor(s) problem? *** it has 2 sensors ***
- gearbox solenoid sensor(s) problem? *** it has 2 sensors ***
- gearbox temperature sensor problem?
so, what could have gone wrong? i'm scared to drive fast now as i got worried the gear may suddenly change to "R" during high-speed cruise in "D" mode - this can severely damage the gearbox otherwise causing death!!!
hope to hear from you guys soon, thanks a million!
