When the OD light flashes it means the transmission has developed a fault. As to what the fault may be is yet to be seen without the system being scanned. In many cases the light indicates the transmission is slipping, you may not feel it slipping, but the computer (called the PCM) senses it through the internal speed sensors that measure main shaft input speed and shaft output speed in RPM. Other problems like shift solenoids can cause this as well. Another factor can be the transmission fluid is worn out, it should be replaced along with a new filter every 60,000 miles minimum.

Plug wires diagram
Place plug wires in order, from shortest to longest on ground beside vehicle, or on a portable work table. Carefully match the length of the shortest one to the shortest on motor. Lay the new wire alongside the old and remove one end of old, attaching the same end of the new one and then do the same to the other end. Fairly simple so far, so repeat this procedure with all the remaining ones one at a time, being carefull to only remove one end at a time, and also be sure of plug wire lengths. Note wires are routed the way that they are to keep them from contacting any hot surfaces or moving parts. Last step: put hands on hips and admire the fine job you just did!
