Best Answer

It means that you have a fault in the transmission's electronic control system. A constantly blinking light means an active fault that is ongoing. You need to hook up a scanner to read the code, or disconnect and reconnect the battery to see if it will reset. but more then likely its a speed sensor plug vary common problem
