The overdrive light will be off when the overdrive switch is pushed in. If the light flashes then that's a trouble shooting code.
If "OD Off" is lit, then your overdrive is off.
it means the overdrive is not on.
it will show on your dash
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.
It kicks off electronic overdrive
off -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you are not towing a trailer you would want the overdrive to be ON so that your engine RPM is lower **( you will not see the O/D OFF light in your dash ) **
What can be the problem with the overdrive light flashing on and off?
If you want the overdrive to be on, the light should be off on the dash. The picture on the button has the D in a circle with a line through it, just like a sign that says means "no smoking" & has the cigarette. Overdrive is always on when you start the vehicle.
Normally the overdrive is allowed so you will not see the light If you have shut off the overdrive the O/D OFF light will be lit up in your dash
If there is an OD off light on the dash, overdrive is turned off.
Overdrive is the normally allowed position If the vehicle is shut off and then restarted , the overdrive will be allowed To turn off the overdrive feature , the button on the end of your gear selector has to be pushed and the O/D OFF light comes on in your dash ( if you push the button again the O/D OFF light will go out and the overdrive feature is allowed )
