Driving home from son's football practice, and the "Transmission System Problem" warning pops up on the dash. Didn't seem to affect the driveability of the vehicle. Online research on ridgelineownersclub.com says may be related to an issue with the torque converter. Several other owners have reported this problem in the last several months. If this is the case, it is a very extensive and intrusive multi-day repair. I will be taking it to Huggins Honda in North Richland Hills, TX tomorrow morning.

"Transmission System Problem" light came on at 86k miles, after the warranty expired. Only comes on when cruising speed of 55+ was reached on highway.
Honda dealer said torque converter was not disengaging when at highway speeds. No shavings in trans oil on transmission side. Dealer said torque converter had some burnt looking trans oil, and was overheating.
Dealer sent Honda Goodwill request for repair assistance to replace torque converter. Honda offered to pay for 75% of repair cost. I paid $926 out of pocket.
The truck was in the shop for 1 week total.
