Stop by autozone or pep boys when light is on . have them check codes while it is still running, it will show what is wrong now, keep in mind if you turn the car off it will reset to factory when started. have them reset codes before leaving this will turn off change oil code for 3000 miles then you know it is not oil change code. they should check it for free.

2008 honda cr-v 5-speed automatic... push overdrive button on shifter and indicator light D3 comes on. What exactly is this telling me....that overdrive is engaged or that it's disengaged and

If all is working well with the transmission. when you push the button and the light comes on, you should feel a down shift at higher speeds. the 3D light would come on. You are at that point out of overdrive. Pushing the button again, you would feel it going into to overdrive. This is normal

How to switch on overdrive for mazda demio aletta

lots of mazda vehicles have a small button on the shifter, usually on the side or somewhere not very visible. Generally overdrive is actually ON and pressing the button will turn on a light that indicates Overdrive is OFF. since overdrive is kind of a passing gear - if you are going uphill or towing something and do not want the vehicle to shift to a higher, larger gear, you would turn overdrive OFF .

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.

My overdrive light is flashing indicating the overdrive is off

this could mean there is a problem with the transmission,but most times when OD light is flashing it is because the wiring to the OD switch is broken.
is the OD switch on the end of the gear shift lever ?
or does your vehicle have the shifter on console between seats ?
