This has happened to the YRV Turbo AutoBoxes

When was the last time you had the autobox fluid and filter changed?
Unfortunately Daihatsu Dealerships arn't aware of the need to service the autoboxes.
If you are getting a flashing 'D' light then this could symptons of a failling autobox I'm afraid Sad worth getting a fluid and filter chnage. Don't trust the reading from the dipstick, as when I change mine it was showing the same. In the autobox it was a black sludge.
