I have a 1996 Prizm LSI and the OD switch is a small round button on the side of the shift lever. You could have accidentally switched it off and that is why you get the light.

How do you remove and replace OD switch on floor shift lever on 97 Taurus?
I just took my 97 in to have the switch fixed. Not only was the switch not the problem but is worst now.

I could not find much information in my manual which is why I took it to the dealer who then shafted me.

I just read on another site, that the switch is controlled by the engine temp. It will not allow the Z to go into overdrive if the car is not up to temp. Could be the t-stat is stuck open or the engine temp switch is bad. Research engine temperature controls. Just a place to start.

How do you know whether your 98 Chevy Prizm has a three or four speed automatic transmission?
Count the number of times it shifts. You could also ask a Chevy dealer, or do a Google search with the term "1998 Chevy Prizm Specifications". You should be able to look at the shift indicator and count them. Park, Neutral and Reverse don't count, Does it have 1 2 3 D, 1 2 D OD, or just 1 2 D? A 98 Prism with overdrive (4 spd automatic) will have a thumb buton on the shift handle to enable or disable it. Prism w/o overdrive will not have the thumb button. When disabled, you will also see "overdrive off" in amber on the dashboard. Also, If you look at the pan, the 4 speed will have 18 bolts, the 3 speed, 15 bolts

When should you use the overdrive switch in a Toyota?
You could use the overdrive all the time, it cuts down on fuel consumption, with no major noticeable effect on power. If you choose to keep it off... You will need to turn it on when cruising above 40-45 MPH, it's actually the higher gear on the Automatic Transmission, very similar to 5th gear on stick shift.
