Interesting. That points to damp wiring.

More symptoms of defective wiring.

You must determine if the TCM thinks it has a problem. Find the module and
watch the lamp in the window. Note the number of flashes, if any, when you
turn the ignition on. On my old Prelude the module is under the carpet where
a passenger's left foot would rest. Pull back the carpet to see the
indicator.

It's likely that the TCM is sensing some moisture-related problem under the
hood. The number of lamp flashes indicates the location.
