it may be low transmition fluid pressure or you may have a solenoid messing up. have your vehicle scan for trouble codes. your vehicle's "T.C.M" should have an error code for that.

Your transmission might automatically shift out of overdrive while driving on the interstate because of low transmission fluid. This issue might also occur because of a bad transmission sensor or overdrive sensor.
The Overdrive Light flashing indicates an internal transmission problem which could be caused by anthiny inside the transmission. Most likely the transmission would have to be removed and taken apart to find the problem.
If the overdrive switch is turned off then the car will not go into overdrive. As it is not in overdrive, then it will not downshift out of overdrive as it normally would. It also will not shift to 3rd gear above a certain factory preset speed. Turn th overdrive on and see if it operates normally.
Yes, a faulty speed sensor can cause the overdrive light to blink. The speed sensor provides information to the transmission control module about the vehicle's speed, and if it malfunctions, it can lead to erratic transmission behavior, including issues with overdrive engagement. When the transmission detects a problem, it may trigger the overdrive light to blink as a warning to the driver. It's important to diagnose and address the issue promptly to prevent further transmission damage.
something is wrong in the transmission. It will have to be diagnosed. You probably have a bad shift solenoid in the tranny.
when overdrive button is flashing, it is an indicater that there is a problem with your transmission. it may be a simple problem or it could be a major problem. take it to a transmission shop before you need to be towed into shop
The same thing happened to my dads 96 Chevy S-10. The transmission was rusted not allowing it to shift. I would have the transmission checked out.
First, check fluid, if sufficient then check sensor that communicates with the transmission.
The transmission needs repair. The electronic control system causes the transmission to stay in 2nd gear when it detects a problem, such as slipping in 3rd gear or overdrive. This allows the car to be driven in an emergency.
