I own a 1992 automatic honda ascot and have been having problems wit it lately. It had a real bad leak and caused my transmission to start slipping. It would drop gears while driving. Traveling up hill was the worst as it would only drive at 40kms but was revving a lot! I have got the leak fixed but now my sports mode light on my dash has started flashing. What does this mean????

There is a fault logged in the ECU, a scan will read this code, the code will give information as to the actual fault.

A general mechanic can do the initial scan and advise you on the best next step.
