Help Needed Please!!
I got a 95 sc300 tried pulling codes with no luck. I got the check engine code but nothing for tranny. Just nonstop blinking when overdrive is on. When I turn overdrive off the light just stays on. What the heck could it be

RIP
How's the fluid level in the transmission. Mine does the same thing... but the pan is empty because it all leaks out from the lack of a crush washer/gasket on the drain plug.

[QUOTE=PhantomCS;10667706]Let me give you a little background. I bought this car blindly from an online police auction due to the fact it was a 95 with some wheels and black interior with intent to probably part it out. It wasn't supposed to run or have an operable transmission. Jumped the car, added some oil, changed o2 sensors so it now runs. Rough due to code 31 (MAF) but it runs. I checked trans fluid dipstick, it was DRY! I bought some fluid, and boom, in bumps into gear. As soon as I filled it, i literally lost almost a quart as the car was sitting still. I am hoping the leak is similar to yours or even the trans pan gasket... I might need to switch out solenoids anyways.

is it leaking only while running, or while it’s off as well? Check to make sure the drain plug isn’t stripped and it has a crush gasket. As a general tip, if you’re looking for a leak occurs in the pan area when the car isn’t running, fluid will drop down to the level from which it is leaking, meaning if the pan gasket is the leak, if you pop the plug you should get roughly half a quart to a quart out of it. Mine dropped like six ounces max when I took the plug out.

It leaks during both off and on. I would need to see if the leak is worse when on or what. That's crazy I just hope its something small or else ill just part the damn thing out lol
