The shift position indicator (D light) starts flashing due to DTC P2817 (shift solenoid valve O/P ...pressure control solenoid H stuck off) may be set. When the TCM checks the drive pulley oil pressure, it misreads the pressure as high even though oil pressure is within specification.

Update the PGM-Fl and TCM software. Use i-HDS software version 1.004.064 or later.
