D3 warning light
SOURCE: my 1991 honda accord only has 2nd and d3 please help
the light is on to indicate a hard fault is present in the transmission controls, you will need to have the system tested to find out exactly what the fault is.
SOURCE: Is it better to go into D3 wihile car is moving or stopped?
Well every gear has its limitations. I am not sure what the mph ranges
for each gear are, but i've gotten to 60+ mph in 3rd gear. The only
thing about driving on the freeway in 3rd gear is that it is alot less
efficient mileage wise. Your turning more RPMS while on the freeway in
3rd gear so you burn up alot more gas.
Driving in D3 is driving in 3rd gear. It could burn up the tranny but it depends on the vehicle itself. It is not really made to do highways speeds in 3rd gear. It should be in 4th or 5th (OD)
SOURCE: MY 09 Honda CRV has a D3 button on the side of the
It will not do any damage to the trans if you press the button whilst you are on the move.Just don't do it at 80 mph.Around town you are completly safe to change from D to D3 and back again.Its like the auto is changing to a slightly lower gear.Thats all it does.Hope this helps
