Yes, I also found its location in the Honda Service Manual. I missed it 
earlier. Both the TCM and the ECM are in the same general area you 
described. However, to my surprise, the problem seemed to have 
disappeared when this morning I turned on the engine and backed out from 
the garage & then moved it back. Also the #4 gear indicator is not 
fla****ng anymore. I am going to take a short drive to see if the problem 
reappears but even if it does not, I will still be wondering if I should 
take it to a Honda shop tomorrow to check things out. But how can they 
check it out if the problem does not manifests itself to the service 
guys? I just might be stuck with a big bill without anything having been 
fixed. I wonder if it was some kind of tem****ary short at the A/T gear 
position switch, next to the ****ft lever on the driver side. From what I 
could see by peeking through some holes, that switch does have a bunch 
of bare wire connectors. The Service manual does indicate that as one of 
several possible reasons for the kind of symptoms I was experiencing.
