Thread starter riper Start date Mar 2, Location maine. The over drive off light on the shifting handle started blinking on in off.
I shut the truck off and it shift gears hard. I shut the truck off then restarted it and it came out off it. Has any had this problem and what was the cause? Location Jessup, MD. It means there is something really wrong. When there is a failure in the trans bad sensor, etc. You'll need a code reader to see what the computer is saying. A good trans shop should be able to help you. Don't drive it anymore except to the shop, as the problem could get worse or cause damage to the trans.
Location Newtown, CT. Most likely the transmission is toast. This happened in our F a month or so ago. While plowing my driver called and said the light was flashing. Took it to the dealer, they pulled the codes but could not get it to happen again. I pick up the truck and can feel the trans slipping, it also had almost nothing in reverse. Took it to the trans shop and had it rebuilt. My trans guy said the trans was real bad. The truck is an '01 and only has 23k miles.
Get it looked at asap. Mebes Senior Member. Location Carver Minnesota. Sorry for your loss. I have to agree with SCSIndust, and plowed. It is an indication of trans trouble. When the OD light flashes this is an indication of a transmission computer seeing a failure, it is just like when the check engine light comes on for the engine computer.
If your overdrive light is flashing or blinking , you are not going to be able to correct the issue by pushing a button. It means that something is wrong with your car's transmission — perhaps the range or speed sensors, or the solenoid.
Can I drive in sport mode all the time? Unless you are really driving around or accelerating, driving in sport mode all the time sometimes gives you too much engine brake and it is just like a kind of impeding your drive. Besides in reality, Sport Mode just makes your electricity steering a bit heavier. Does overdrive use more gas? No, it actually burns LESS gas, and that's part of the point. Overdrive means that for every revolution of the engine, the wheels will turn greater than one revolution.
This allows for travel at higher speeds while keeping engine RPM down. So, they use less fuel in overdrive than in a lower gear. What is the 1 and 2 on an automatic transmission? Most automatic transmissions also allow you to manually select one or more lower gears, such as Low L , 1st 1 and 2nd 2.
In the case of L and 1, the transmission will stay in the lowest gear and not shift on its own. And with others, if you select 2, the transmission starts in 2nd gear and is locked in that gear. What is OD off mean? The "OD" means over drive. It's the last gear in your transmission.
When the indicator shows as "off", it means the transmission won't go into that gear. Overdrive provides a mechanical advantage for the engine to run at a slower speed when traveling at highway speeds. Does driving in overdrive hurt your car? Leaving the car in Overdrive won't damage the engine.
Does turning off overdrive make your car faster?
