When the overdrive off light flashes a malfunction has been detected in the operation of the automatic transmission code P0745 - pressure control solenoid " A " malfunction
Its flashing because of a code. Probley torconverter. Go have the codes puled at your garage.
Shift solenoid malfunction.
The overdrive light will be off when the overdrive switch is pushed in. If the light flashes then that's a trouble shooting code.
Means there is something wrong with your transmission. Need to hook up to a computer & get the code normally but can be external damage also. My 97 F150 did that when the transmission mount broke.
its setting a code
its setting a fault code when you shut the it off and start it again then it goes through its self test may hit code or test fine but there is a code stored
Trouble code P0745 means: Pressure control solenoid malfunction
The light is flashing because your trans is displaying that there is a fault with the trans itself. Need to have a qualified tech read the code from the trans I had the same problem. The tranny shop replaced the shift position sensor and the problem was solved. As stated above, you need a transmission shop to diagnose it with there diagnostics computer.
It is flashing to let you know a trouble code for the transmission is stored in the computer. You have to take it to a shop to have the code read to find out what is wrong.
= Service Engine Soon flashing light and Trac Off light on =
It is flashing a code for you to use in determining the reason the flashing purpose. in other words it has determined that there is a problem with the air bag system. it will flash the code for 5 times and the the light will stay on. it will be a 2 digit code. count the flashes to determine the code. Your Ford dealer can tell you what the codes mean and where to look for the problem.
ford automatic overdrive transmissions after 1993 were electronically controlled by the pcm. inside the trans is a collection of speed and pressure sensors along with soleniods to control shifting and torque converter lockup. when one of these electronic components malfunction the pcm will set a trouble code and illuminate the light. some code readers will read the trans codes and unfortionatly i dont have a list available.
