    The green S light is flashing and the car acts as tho the brakes are on. I called the local dealer who told me it was the transmission and to have it towed to them..If it a serious problem like that wouldn't the light flash red

    like the other need service or gas lights?

    If the green "s" is flashing it means there is a problem and to have the code check for the issues if it stays on and wont shift right then it;s the transmission control computer gone bad happens alot on 1990-1993 Hondas...

The S light, or Sport light has been flashing in my car for years. In my car it's such a minor problem that I've never had the mechanic fix it. Poor man's solution: don't fix it it at all. This just means there's a short somewhere and I can't use the "sport" mode on my transmission, which I never used anyway. Has nothing to do with Check Engine light on my car. Transmission is happy as well. Just ask your mechanic if it really matters in your circumstance.

The light is green because the S lens is green. It can't go red. The problem MAY be the transmission

2001 honda civic a green key displayed

The flashing green key icon when turning off your car? Ignition security system, requires chipped key to start. It's sort of like the GM and Ford flashing red light to announce the security system is active.

Flashing S button 1991 Honda accord

the flashing S light on your car is your tcu "transmission control unit" sending a trouble code to your dash this could mean alot of differant things if im not mistaken it will be an electrical problem not mechanical. is your speedometer just randomly jumping? the reason i ask is i drive a 91 as well and my S light is blinking and my speedometer jumps and sometimes doesnt work at all the the code for the S or tcu is 4 which is the vss "vehicle speed censor" eventually your check engine light will probably come on and if the code is 17 then its your vss as well but you can check the code by getting either a paper clip or small wire and using it as a jumper wire there is a little blue wiring harness on the passenger side of your car under the glove box use the paper clip or wire and plug them in "dont worry you wont get shocked ive done this plenty of times and in the rapair manual it tells you to do this" when you do this make sure the paper clip or wire is secure and put you key in the ignition and turn it to where your dash lights up but dont start the car the S light will start to blink count the blinks "1 long blink is 10, 1 small blink is 1" example if the light stays on for a couple of seconds and turns off and then blinks 4 times that would be code 14, if your check engine light blinks count that as well if you need help with checking any of it there is a video on you tube i believe the title is how do you check the check engine light on a 91 honda accord. or something of that nature. if you get the codes tell me what they are I may be able to find them and get more specific about what is goin on I hope this helps

I have a 2001 honda civic that wont start it turns over but wont fire, no check engine light, no codes, fuel pump working, battery is good all power works. it has no fuel or fire when trying to turn over. ...

If it were the immobilizer, you would have a security light that would be flashing or staying on all the time the key is in on. Since the engine cranks over and the pump is working when you turn the key to on and start, the green light may just mean the bulb is burnt out or a connection problem with that wire for the light. Not much of a problem there.
You said no fuel or fire when trying to start-so that is where to concentrate: you first need to verify that the ignition still is working, so check for spark on a plug wire with the engine cranking over. This could be a main fuse or main relay not passing power on to the ignition system and/or the injector circuit. First check for spark, and if you have spark, check the injector circuit (there is a fuse for the injectors-probably under the hood in a fuse/relay block). If you have no spark, you will have to diagnose the ignition system- coils, ignition control module (the ignitor), the crank angle or crank position sensor, finally the engine computer.
