A malfunction has been detected
Yes, the 2012 Ford Escape is equipped with an overdrive feature. This feature is part of its automatic transmission system, allowing the vehicle to shift into a higher gear for improved fuel efficiency at highway speeds. Overdrive helps reduce engine RPM, leading to better fuel economy and a quieter ride.
Overdrive allowed is the NORMAL position
Overdrive is the normally allowed position . It won't shift into overdrive until the speed is faster anyway . On my 1995 Ford Explorer it doesn't shift into overdrive until I'm travelling about 50 miles per hour ( if you are towing or driving in hilly country where the transmission is constantly downshifting then you don't use overdrive )
In a 2002 Ford Escape, the inability to turn off overdrive could be due to a malfunction in the transmission or the overdrive button itself. If the button is stuck or the wiring is damaged, it may not function properly. Additionally, the vehicle's computer system might not be registering the command to disable overdrive. If you're experiencing this issue, it's advisable to consult a mechanic for a thorough diagnosis.
