How to use overdrive button

Engaging your overdrive depends on the specific type of vehicle you have. Some vehicles have an automatic overdrive, which can be engaged by pressing a switch, while others have manual transmission. In these cases, the overdrive is engaged by moving the gear stick into the overdrive position. Refer to your vehicle's owner's manual for further information and guidance.

It is not an overdrive transmission. It is a 4 speed automatic. It has no overdrive relay.

You either have a transmission problem, or a gearbox problem. It has nothing to do with an overdrive button. Overdrive buttons are used mainly for towing in automatic vehicles, increasing the torque and lowering the RPM (Revolutions Per Minute) on an engine.

If it is flashing then it is a malfunction indicator. Think of it as a "check transmission light." It could be anything from a loose connection in the shifter to a bad transmission. How does it drive? Is it shifting into overdrive?

Over Drive..... Generally speaking, overdrive (OD) is the highest gear in the transmission. Overdrive allows the engine to operate at a lower rpm for a given road speed. This allows the vehicle to achieve better fuel efficiency, and often quieter operation on the highway. When it is switched on, an automatic transmission can shift into overdrive mode after a certain speed is reached (usually 70+ km/h [43+ mph] depending on the load). When it is off, the automatic transmission shifting is limited to the lower gears. For an automatic transmission, it is almost always best to select overdrive and allow the transmission to control engagement of the overdrive. (It may be necessary to switch it off if the vehicle is being operated in a mountainous area or when towing a trailer.) With a manual transmission, overdrive should usually be selected when the average speed is above 70 km/h (approx. 43 mph).

the ' O/D OFF ' light is a indicator that tells you that the ' overdrive ' for the transmission is OFF --- when the light is out, that means that you have selected ' OverDrive ' for your transmission.

The indicator light will only show when the overdrive is in the off position. No light means that the overdrive is on.

i assume that you have a sentra 1997 automatic transmission. OD orange light on your dash means that your overdrive is not engaged meaning your sentra is not on fuel efficient mode.

solution: in your automatic stick shift, driver side is a button just below the T bar. press that button until the OD light dissapears on your dash. you're now in overdrive mode.

bad relay switch

Hi. 2005 Corolla CE. It's normal. They tend to do this when upshifting form 1st to 2nd gear. No timing chain readjustment needed.

96 Corolla. Overdrive not working properly, if not engaging after 45mph constantly. If driving on the city, is normal, but not after 45mph, when the car is trying to engage overdrive in order to save gas and preserve the trans gears. If not able to get help at the dealership, find another one and explain them the situation.
