∙ 15y agoYou mean OD off. That is overdrive off. If it stays on all the time, you need to have the trans computer checked for codes.
The OD light on dash stands for Overdrive. There is a button (usually) on the end of the turn signal lever. Some cars the button or switch is on the dash. If you push the button/switch the light will change to OD or OD on (may even go out) then you will be in overdrive. Being in overdrive is good except for steep hills or pulling a heavy load.
If the light says off then your overdrive is turned off, push the button again and the light will turn off and overdrive will be on again.
If there is an OD off light on the dash, overdrive is turned off.
