No lights no leaks just wouldn't go into gear. I tried shifting to all and no movement. This car is automatic well taken care of. I was wondering if the transmission is low, it won't let it engage because there's no dip stick to check it and could it be a module that needs reset or replaced, or do I need to take pan off and check for anything? Never had any issues or nothing just out of the blue tonight at a red light.

After you put the transmission in gear and then into park does it make a grinding sound? If so, you may have a broken CV axle. We should run the codes to see what comes up, you can get a CAN scanner (Controller Area Network) which will work on most cars from Amazon.

Here is a video to show you how:

Here is how to check the transmission fluid and a guide as well:

Use Honda HCF-2 transmission fluid.
Note: Using the wrong type of fluid will damage the transmission.

This car has the CVT transmission which had big problems BTW. Check out the images (below). Please let us know what happens.
