The O/D light flashing is a specific fail. It means the Torque converter lockup isn't registering as "on" at the right speed. This could be a wiring issue to the transmission, a bad speed sensor or a failed solinoid in the valve body of the transmission. Potentially all (relatively) cheap and easy things to fix, but difficult things to diagnose. The codes they found would have been very helpful.
If your vehicle is OBD2, this will make it easier to find, but I suspect you have an OBD1 vehicle (I could be wrong; The emissions sticker under the hood will say for sure). With OBD1 you can pull codes without a scanner. OBD2 is scanner only.
Start with what codes are set in the computer and work your way out to find a pattern. That way you fix the problem without "Throwing parts at it".
Hope that helps! |
