Means the same as a flashing Check Engine Light except it is telling you
there is something wrong with the transmission. The dealer can run a test
that will show what is causing the transmission trouble signal.

Yes, it might hurt. It might hurt a lot. Check your owners manual first
and take it to a mechanic second and ask here third. A check engine
light means something is wrong, so you should not act as if nothing is
wrong.

Starfire, post this problem on another board, www.usmb.net. Good chance
you will end up replacing the transmission and depending on where you live
there is a good chance someone on that board can help you for a reasonable
price.
