On a 1996 Ford Explorer :
Overdrive is the normally allowed position
It won't shift into overdrive until the speed is greater anyway ( such as on the
highway or freeway , my 1995 Explorer XLT doesn't shift into overdrive until I'm
going 50 MPH / 80 KPH )
If you are towing something , or if you are driving in hilly country where the
transmission is constantly shifting back and forth from overdrive to drive , then
you want to shut the overdrive off using the transmission control switch on
the end of your gear selector leaver ( P R N etcetera ) and the O/D OFF
light will light up in your dash
It should be in the front under the hood near the intake
A 1987 4-speed ford ranger with over drive is a 4wd and not 2wd.
Over drive on any car is ther last gear for the transmission at hi-way speeds. The engine rev rate is lower, while the car goes faster. If you leave the stick in the D position, with the o/drive on, the trans. will do the work by itself.
I have a 84 camaro 2.8, what is over drive? The D without circle are D with circle?
aod stands for automatic over-drive and is a common ford transmission
A malfunction has been detected
Check the fuse.
No , both the 3.0 and 4.0 liter Over Head Valve ( OHV ) engines used in a 1996 Ford Aerostar use ( 1 ) timing CHAIN
Because of an electric fault
check the fuse, check the relay, change the ignition module-- it senses the engine turning over and sends the computer the signal to start the pump. Check the collision sensor in the rear, it may need to be reset.
