Hey guys anyonehave this problem on there scx00. ...so my o d light has been flashing and the car feels very timid on take off, basically its not taking off likw it should...please help me cclub lex

 

ever think about checking your tranny?

 

Yeah... the O/D Off light flashing indicates an issue with the transmission electronics.

O D Main Switch & O D OFF Indicator Light Circuit
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The O/D main switch contacts go off when the switch is pushed in and come on when it is pushed out. In O/D
main switch OFF position, the O/D OFF indicator light lights up, and the ECM prohibits shifting to overdrive. The
ECM also causes the O/D OFF indicator light to blink when a malfunction is detected. In this case, connecting
the terminals in the DLC2 or DLC1 can display the malfunction code.

 

its your transmission solenoids trust me on this i had the same problem no one helped me out, i even tried searching but nothing( probably didnt do a good enough search)

 

thanks KrazeMatik how much did it cost U to get it fixed

 

My o/d light started flashing after I put in a Greddy boost cut..no issues with my tranny tho, I just been too lazy to check it out..I think the wiring may be wrong lol!

 

im just hopin i dnt have to get a whole new trans

 

i get some bad shifts once in a while like going from 1st to fourth unintentionally.. Could the shift solenoids be the problem? Once in a while the od light will flash.

 

yes i had this prob like i mention above its the transmission solenoids, i thought i needed a tune up so i reaplace cap and rotor, ngk spark plug and ngk wires, distruber, pretty much everything and end up with the same problem, so i went to a junk yard found a sc400 took 4 solenoid off the transmission, and went home and put it in, it runs like a champ

 

sweet!! last time at the junkyard i came home with 2 sets so now i know what im doing this weekend!!

 

my tranny doesnt shift into overdrive. excuse to put in a 5speed! lol

 

I have this same issue but after im on the road for sometime but I also got word that my ECM is going back....

 

now putting it in.. did you just pop off the cover take out the solenoids, refill and bolt up?? What else was needed?? Any kind of filters or gaskets? And what does ecm stand for.. Sorry for the noob question..

 

ECM = Engine Control Modular

i just come across the same problem my car wont shift to 4th gear and when i press the overdrive button the car doesn't respond but the O/D light stays lit... but on the other hand i want to do a r-154 swap right after i boost which is really soon but my funds are no where close to that..!

 

is it bad if i turn off the O/D ?
