A flashing OD light means there is a problem with your transmission. Your truck should continue to operate, but without overdrive capability, have it checked out at a shop. Your Mazda Pickup is almost identical to the Ford Ranger and thus should have a Ford transmission, when there is a problem with the transmission the OD light with either come on or Flash and sometimes the Check Engine light with come on too depending on what is wrong with the tranny.
OverDrive Off
Magic Gas!
OD stands for Over Drive and it just means that your car is adjusting its actions to save money and gas.
should be a button on the shifter, maybe its a small one, push it in and the OD light should appear next to the gauges.
