I have a '99 TL, 4-speed transmission, 94K miles. I just noticed today that
when the transmission was in D4, the D4 light on the instrument panel was
not lit. All other lights D3, D2, R ... came on when I shifted the lever to
the corresponding position. I don't remember if I've ever seen the D4 light
on. Maybe it's always been on and I noticed it today because it wasn't on.
The car runs perfectly normal though. I've never had any problems with it.

Is it normal for the D4 light to not light up (probably not)? Is this an
indication of a transmission problem? Could it be just the D4 light that's
burned out? I haven't taken my car to the dealer to check on the
transmission recall.

Thanks.

It's common. It's the bulb. Don't let just any "hack" replace it. Mine
was out when I bought the car and the dealer (not Acura) replaced it prior
to pick-up and the guy butchered my dash. I'm still pissed.

More than likely it’s just the D4 light having issues or burnt out,
just because it won’t light up doesn’t indicate that there are or will
be transmission issues... you should be fine!
