98 Civic EX auto D4 light comes on when start ...

Couple days ago the D4 light went off on my dashboard. P,R,N,D3 and 2 are work fine. So I took the cluster out try to find out the problem. I played with the hardness and those plugs and suddenly it went on again, so I just put the cluster back.

Today on the way I drive home from work the D4 light goes off again. So I took the cluster out and found out that this time the bulb need to be replaced. I exchanged the gear "2" bulb to D4 since I don't use gear 2 at all.
Then I put everything back in its original place and turn the key to position II.....Now the D4 is back on but this time it goes on with CEL and SRS light for 3 seconds then turn off...I start the car, runs and shifting normal. All the gear lights work except "2". I tried to unplugged the battery to reset everything but it's still on and off with CEL and SRS together when the key turn to position II

I went search about it a bit but no luck. I'm not sure if it is a circuit problem, transmission issue or it's totally normal.....
by the way I did the engine and transmission oil change during in the passed weekend....but I don't think it's the reason ...

Thanks

Huh? Your CEL and SRS turn on then off when you turn the key to RUNII srs takes about 6 seconds, MIL shuts off within 2 or 3 seconds. I don't get what the problem is..

Why don't you just replace the bulb you put into "2"?

Oppss sorry, should be CEL, ABS and D4 lights up for 3 sec then off together when turn the key to RunII, then SRS off after 5-6 sec...

Either way there is still no problem with anything other then the fact that you have a bulb out in the "2" position.
