ok, started the car up last night to go grab a bite and did'nt notice whether or not it flashing that time. but leaving wawa it flashed several times and then stopped. got home, turned the car off, and re-started twice, did'nt do it. i had to gun it back and fourth to get unstuck from the snow, would that trigger anything??? car sems to be running fine, any idea's??? thanks in advance.

 

Mine actually did th same tonight. I was told that it may be something wrong with the transmission.

 

from the stickies:

My OD light is blinking, what does that mean?

95-97
1. Start engine and warm to normal operating temp with O/D off.
2. Turn ignition swith to off postiton wait 5 sec.
3. Turn ignition switch to the ACC position.
4. Put O/D to ON.
5. Move shifter to P, turn ignition on but don't start engine.
6. The OD light should come on for about 2 secs.
a. if light does not come on somthing is wrong with the trans. computer.
b. if light comes on proceed to no 7.
7. Turn ignigton key to off.
8. Turn ignition key to on, don't start engnie.
9. Move shift lever to D, trun ignition to off.
10. Put O/D switch to off position.
11. Turn ignition off.
12. Put O/D to off, turn ignition ON wait 2sec and move shifter to the 2 position.
13. Put O/D to on, move shifter to 1 position.
14. Put O/D to off, depress accelerator all the way to floor and release.
15. The computer is now in output mode and will start displaying the codes.



There’s one long flash that signifies the start of the sequence. Following
should be 10 short flashes. Then it
repeats.
Remember the first long flash indcates the start of the sequence followed by
10.

All 10 flashes the same = No error codes read at this time
1st flash longer than others = Revolution sensor is shorted or disconnected.
2nd flash longer than others = Speed sensor circuit is shorted or disconnected.
3rd flash longer than others = Throttle sensor circuit is shorted or
disconnected.
4th flash longer than others = Shift solenoid “A” circuit is shorted or
disconnected
5th flash longer than others = Shift solenoid “B” circuit is shorted or
disconnected
6th flash longer than others = Overrun clutch solenoid circuit is shorted or
disconnected
7th flash longer than others = Lock-up solenoid circuit is shorted or
disconnected
8th flash longer than others = Fluid temperature sensor is disconnected or A/T
control unit power source
circuit is damaged.
9th flash longer than others = Engine revolution signal circuit is shorted or
disconnected
10th flash longer than others = Line pressure solenoid circuit is shorted or
disconnected

All the same with no long start flash = Battery low, been disconnected, or
control unit has just been
reconnected.

 

thanks man, i'm gonna check later on this morning. if it is the same flashing as stated at the bottom of the post, could that be from sitting all day in the ccold weather?? like i said, runs fine ( ******* computer....)

 

ok, musta been a fluke, but no more flashing. drove it today and no flashes at all, friggin car is constant worry, jeeez.......

 

disconnect your drop resistor lately?

 

Yes depending on the flashes it will tell you what is wrong. Usually it means that there is a problem with a solenoid.

 

had a 02 sensor put in 2 weeks ago, and it did'nt flash at all today either. i read in a stickie that 10 flashes indicates no codes and or problems at the time it happens. car ran perfect today too.
