Manual mode and the sport mode light's are flashing at the same time
SOURCE: transmission problem stuck in sport shift mode
I also have a 2009 Outlander Sportronic transmission with a V6 engine.
Bought it this summer ... transmission appeared fine but seemed to automatically slow down the vehicle using the engines compression whenever I let go of the gas pedal.
Now that the cold weather is upon us here in Canada, whenever I accelarate normally (not like a teenager) the transmission takes quite a bit of time to shift into second... If I rev up the engine (quick take off) it seems to help but the shifting of gears is not as smooth as I would expect it (mildly slips and kicks into second)...
The worst is when come to a complete stop ... then the transmission kicks coming down from the higher gears???
I read somewhere that this is because this transmission is a CVT type and is learning my driving habits in order to adjust itself so the vehicle becomes more fuel efficient... Not sure but if the trany is computer controlled then it must be poorly writen program...
I'm taking the car in to the dealer and will write back on the diagnostic they give me ...
SOURCE: The transmission shift mode on
shift light won't change but blinks in sport ,tramission changes hard,and feel like it dragging
SOURCE: What is the problem when both manual and sport
check to make sure you have good connections at the battery, worked for me.
SOURCE: The S (sports mode) light
The flashing S light is the transmission control unit telling you there is an issue somewhere. Click here to diagnose the problem. That post is for 92-93 accords where the D4 light is for TCU errors, but diagnosing is the same. Just replace every instance of "D4 light" with "S light".
