Overdrive problem While driving the overdrive light will sometimes start flashing. Pushing the buttom has no effect on the problem. A couple of times it actually kicked the overdrive off while driving down the road. What specific would cause this problem, and is there a code for that particular problem? Thanks, Arnold Marsee

    Same problem with 2000 Expy. Bought it 6 weeks ago and the OD light comes off in hilly areas. on level (or down hill) the light goes off (resets) after 2 min. Dealer stated the transmission fluid is old and burned causing internal damage due to overheating. Dealer stated I need new transmission. I am currently getting a second opinion

OK, here is an update - The torque booster pump broke, so I had transmission rebuilt at Benchmark. So far a year and 20K miles later we have no problems.

    Transmission (torque converter) went again 4 years later (2014). A complete rebuilt. The OD flashing indicates the transmission is overheating. If you continue driving, and the transmission overheats a lot, the computer will disconnect it (put it in neutral). Regardless, flashing OD light means there is a very serious problem with transmission.

Overdrive light flashing

Sounds like a speed sensor is not letting the torque converter go into lock up mode. This condition will affect fuel consumption. Check OBDII for speed sensor fault.

Overdrive light flashes

By the sounds of it that could be the solenoid that operates the overdrive that has malfunctioned or there's a bad earth or a broken fuse - its electrical though that's for sure -- you may need to see a mechanic for that one unless your good at diy :)
Hope you get it going :)

My 1995 nissan quest overdrive light comes on when i start it and it wont go in drive but will 2nd gear, sometime on can turn the van off and restart and it will go in drive and shift ok but it shifts...

Sounds like the sensor for first gear.
The transmission comes with a shift sensor for each shift: if 4 shift, 4 sensor (including reverse).
Have somebody check the sensors and the cpu for the tranny. They go hand to hand.

I was driving and the orang light came on the dash board of my 2004 LX Sorento jeep. It is to the left on the dash board. what does this mean?

Check for the overdrive buttom on the shift lever, you may have simply depressed the overdrive button and that takes it out of overdrive until you push the button again. If that's not it, please describe the shape of the light.

Overdrive light and airbag/abs lights flashing

Sounds like an ECM going out. The systems being effected are not related and usually only connected though the ECM. Have it checked at the dealer.
