The car transmission warning light blinked now and then. Took it to the dealer who checked the codes but could not find one. Dealer said that the code was probably erased when the car was shut off. The dealer suggested that the car be brought in when blinking and the engine not shut off. This was annoying because the transmission light ("D") would blink and the dealer was not open. One day it blinked and was taken to the dealer without shutting it off. The dealer diagnosed it and said that the pressure sensor was faulty and so had to be replaced. The replacement of the sensor was covered by the warranty (believe under the "certified car warranty) and they recommended that the transmission oil be changed with a $96 charge. The dealer said that a blinking transmission light requires that the car be stopped immediately and towed to the dealer. Under the circumstances this was not possible.
