    What is an "off console switch"?
    I have a 91 accord with a tcu problem -as does everyother owner. The "S" light. I have a solid S and every so ofter it will flash. I soldered on a few new resistors and a capacitor, as they were burnt, reinstalled it and got it to blink! Finally pulled a code#6 - off console switch. Does anybody know what this is and where its located? After all that the light decided to go back to being solid!

    I would install a remanufactured TCU or have your current one diagnosed and repaired.

    Thanks for the reply. I planned on doing that anyhow. Another question I had was, am I able to unplug the tcu and drive manually or would that destroy the trans? The acceleration is horrible and I have to shift from 2nd gear on up just to get going. I've heard of people doing this but not sure about the long term results.
