A little help with a code 70(?)

I'm getting:
CEL = 7 long flashes (then pause, repeat)
D4 = four flashes (then pause, repeat)

Now, if I'm reading this information right, this is simply a code 70 which means "automatic transaxle." Firstly, is this correct? Secondly, what does that mean to me in terms of repair?
A little background... sometime around March, at approx 86,500 miles, I had the transmission repaired under Honda's recall, then I stored the car. Now that I'm driving it again (currently at approx 87,500) the CEL came on.

The service ticket from the repair states, "Trans seems to slip on acccel. Install Honda remanufactured automatic transmission and torque convertor."

I called Honda and the only they could tell me was "bring it in." As my week is insane and I won't be able to get there right away, is there someone who can give me some insight as to what this all means? Also, it seems to run fine, so can I still drive it without damaging anything?

By the way, when it comes to cars... I am at the very bottom of the learning curve working my way up. So, if you speak in layman's terms, I would apprecieate it.

Thanks in advance.
