Problem overview

Some Honda Ridgeline owners report experiencing transmission system troubles, including warning lights for both the transmission and blind spot monitoring systems. Common issues reported include transmission fluid leaks, torque converter problems, solenoid malfunctions, and clutch issues. These warning messages, such as "Transmission System Problem" and "Blind Spot System" failure, may indicate underlying transmission issues, potentially related to a pressure switch or a sticking valve in the transmission valve body, which can be expensive to repair due to parts availability. While the torque converter and transmission are separate components, some owners find that the torque converter can be replaced easily during transmission service. It is crucial for owners to address these warning messages promptly to avoid further damage to the transmission system and ensure safe driving conditions. If a torque converter issue is suspected, it is advisable to have the vehicle inspected by a qualified mechanic for accurate diagnosis and necessary repairs.
