I was told it was like the check engine light which means a trans problem.
it could also be that your overdrive sensor is bad and not have transmission problems at all. although it can be costly to fix if you cant do it or know someone who can.
That's the overdrive off light
A malfunction has been detected
my check engine light stays on and the o/d light blinks....what could this mean?
what will fix the overdrive light from flashing in a 1996 mercury grand marquis its a gear ratio problem between 1 and 2 shift
it mean there is a hydraulic or electrical fault on the transmission
Overdrive is the normally allowed position Until you are travelling around 50 MPH / 80 KPH it won't shift into overdrive anyway If you are towing something , or driving in hilly country where the transmission is always downshifting , then you can shut the overdrive off and the O/D OFF light will light up in your dash
Overdrive is the normally allowed position so you don't see the light on If you turn OFF the overdrive , the overdrive off light will light up or if there is a problem the overdrive off light will flash
If the light is on ( not flashing ) that means that the overdrive has been switched off ( the 4th gear of your automatic transmission )
Normally the overdrive is allowed , so the overdrive OFF light does not light up When the overdrive is switched off , the overdrive OFF light will light up to let you know that the overdrive has been switched off
check brake fluid level.
Something has happen to the transmission. Had the same problem when pulling a heavier trailer, after the road levelled out, the light would go out. Check Transmission at dealer.
overdrive light keeps flashing
