od light flashing on 1997 mercury montoneer
I have a 2002 F350 and my OD light came on, that was 3 transmissions ago... by default the fords are in OD, you have to turn it off when towing. Never tow without turning the OD off first. My experience was that the trans was burned up, and the light kept flashing, or You might be exceeding the speed for being in OD.
A flashing overdrive light usually means there is a fault with the torque converter system.
A flashing "OD Off" light typically indicates that the Overdrive function in a vehicle is disabled or malfunctioning. This could be due to a problem with the transmission, such as low fluid levels, overheating, or other mechanical issues. It’s advisable to check the vehicle’s manual for specific troubleshooting steps and to consult a mechanic if the light persists. Ignoring this warning can lead to further transmission damage.
The O/D off light flashing indicates that the powertrain control module has detected a malfunction - have the Explorer scanned for trouble codes in order to diagnose and repair the problem
it means the overdrive is not on.
When the O/D OFF light flashes , that means the powertrain control module has detected a malfunction - get it checked out
"Over Drive Off"
There is a problem with the Overdrive. Seek professional help.
It means there is a problem in the transmission and you're not shifting into overdriver properly. Have your transmission serviced to find out what's wrong. You need to change the fuse if that dosent work then you have a short somewhere.
If your O/D off light is flashing in your gauge cluster that means the powertrain control module has detected a malfunction
