What does "O/D OFF" light mean
#2
"O/D" light on means overdrive is off. There's a button on the end of the shift handle that allows you to take your RX out of overdrive when towing a large boat or heavy trailer to keep from overheating the transmission.
The position of the button makes it fairly easy to accidentally engage or disengage overdrive.
There may be other reasons for your problem that I am not aware of.

Overdrive is essentially 4th gear. When the "O/D OFF" light is on, it means the highest gear available will be 3rd gear, it will NOT go into 4th.
You want to keep Overdrive on, in normal driving conditions. It improves fuel mileage, and keeps the torque converter locked.
You can turn overdrive off coming down steep hills, so that you don't overheat your brakes by continuously applying pressure on the brakes.
