My accord has recently began starting out in 2nd gear. (Auto) I can
manually begin in first with no problem. The d4 light has flashed in
the past, so I restart the car and manually shift to first. Any
suggestions. (I will be changing the fluid tomorrow with ATF Z1) I will
post if this clears the problem.

If a fluid change does not help, the problem could be the tranny control
unit (TCU).

Problem corrected, replaced fluid and tapped free the shift control
solenoid valve.

Where is the shift control solenoid valve located? Thanks.
