Crossroad Gear Shift Indicator Problems

My 2009 Honda Crossroad with a gasoline engine is acting up! The gear shift indicator on the dash is flashing nonsense and I can't get it into gear properly. It slips, makes awful grinding noises, and sometimes refuses to shift. I scanned it and got error codes. Mileage is at 153439 km. Any ideas?

Summary of the thread

A 2009 Honda Crossroad is experiencing issues with the gear shift indicator flashing erratically, difficulty in shifting gears, and grinding noises. The problem, which started gradually, was diagnosed through error codes suggesting a faulty control unit. The recommended solution was to take the vehicle to a workshop, where the control unit was confirmed to be defective and subsequently repaired.

I experienced something similar with my Crossroad. Does it feel like the transmission is shifting erratically, even when the indicator shows the correct gear? I also had the same error codes. Did the problems start suddenly, or gradually worsen?

You felt the same on your Crossroad? That's both relieving and terrifying! To answer your question, it started gradually, like a slow creep, but now it's a straight-up mess. I'm thinking maybe a sensor issue? Or is my transmission just giving up on me? Any insight?

Based on your description, especially the gradual onset and the error codes, it's highly likely a faulty control unit. Unfortunately, that's what it was in my case. To get this resolved I would recommend taking your vehicle to a trusted workshop.

Thanks a bunch for the info! I took it to a workshop like you suggested and you were spot on; the control unit was indeed defective. Ended up costing me around 1000€ for the repair. At least it's fixed now!
