1.6L or 1.8L? engine.there are 3 engines,
1.6L with one injector and one with 4 and the 1.8L with 4.
and the ecu is different on each.

tell which terminals were jumped. and which lamp flashed?
Corolla - jump DLC terminals TE1 and E1 with a short lead 1

which transaxle.?
A131, A240i, a241h, or A245e, (the e trans is tcm shifted)
The 7AFE engine has the TCM and ECU in same box.
the 1.6L single injector engine runs a pure hydraulic trans.(no TCM)
TCM's engine/trans setups.
the 4speed, has 3 ranges switches, and 3 solenoids. and speed sensors., the MPI engine ecu shifts the transmission the TBI engine does not. MPI has 4 injectors, this your car?

if the OD flashes driving, this means TCM sees errors.
can be bad sensor inputs to the TCM
or bad shifter switch, (really they are sensors too, status switches)
and the TCM can see bad speed sensors.
the TCM can also flash if the solenoids are dead. or transmission slips. (nut shell answers)
IF it skips gears, the TCM may be in limphome, they do that on errors. to protect the transmission for damage.


first, off , prizm is just a toy corolla and those are really corolla

best page on car., but i cant find your codes? are you sure you counted correclty? 26 is too rich running. (fuel ratio) 36 I can not find anywhere, (stumped me)
http://www.troublecodes.net/toyota/toyota-celica-94-95-corolla-93-95/

post vin on car and we can look up what's under the hood.
put xxxx and end of VIN. for privacy.

SOURCE: how do i fix the overdrive ligh flashing on my

The overdrive light is flashing because there is a diagnostic code stored in the Transmission control mudule.You will need to have the codes pulled to know where the problem is.The 2nd gear only condition is not a symptom, it is limp mode caused by the code being stored.There are about 30 different problems that can cause limp mode,so there is no way to guess.There is a procedure to pull codes that I can give you if you want to do it yourself.Just let me know,Thanks!

SOURCE: 1992 Chevy Geo Prizm doesn't like to use third gear.

Before trying to figure out if it is the computer etc.From a dead stop.try going though the shifts using your manual shift lever,run the gears through their normal rpm shift cycles And manually shift to the next gear and see if the third gear acts normal through it's cycle if it does then you will know it isn't the transmissions gear and is a problem the the shifting procedure mechanism..have check from there...Hope this helps. Good luck

How to check engine light codes on 1993 geo?

You will still have an OBD I system and will be able to retrieve codes by jumping the "A" and "B" terminals in the data connector. Turn the key to the "on" position and you should be able to count the flashed on the engine light itself.
