OD light is flashing at start up

the past two days my od light flashes when i start my car , i am curious as to why this is happening and if it is something serious, i hope not because i am sick and tired of messing with the transmission.

your transmission control module is warning you that there is trouble with your tranny - pull the codes first. Is your check engine light on ?

When I turn on my car the O/D light comes up and then disappears is this what you are refering to? or do you mean you turn it on shows up and starts flashing a few blinks then goes off? Got me confused sort of...

What you are seeing is normal - the OP is seeing the "blinking" which is the TCM trying to tell you that it has detected a problem.
