Tonight after work I pulled out of a parking lot and accelerated quickly down a long stretch of rural road. I probably reached a top speed of around 60 MPH. I then noticed the malfunction indicator lamp flash on the instrument panel (top left). I also noticed that I wasn't in drive ("D") but that I was accidentally in D3. Would cruising at this speed cause the malfunction indicator lamp to come on when in D3? Afterwards I shifted back to drive and the light didn't come back on. I drove for a few miles to see if it would come back on and it didn't.
When there is a true malfunction with the engine the light would stay on correct? Also, what is the maximum speed for third gear in a 2005 Accord V6?
The car has a little over 18,000 miles on it and has been pampered like a baby since the day I bought her. I hope this is just related to my quick acceleration and having the transmission shifted to D3.
Please advise. Thanks.
