Simple question I did the diagnostic test for the trans on page 7B-3 in the Haynes. (95 GLE) once I completed the sequence... my OD light just rapidly blinked at me.


...I have no idea what that means. I searched and could not find this mentioned anywhere.

Thanks for helping out.

 

Use the Haynes for kindling.

Download the FSM.

There is a link to it in my sig.

Also, this thread is probably a better place to post:

but this has been covered plenty of times:

I of course will check out the FSM as suggested

Thanks - I saw those links and apologize for not being clearer.

After doing the diagnostic test, instead of what was described with a specific number of long or short blinks i simply got a rapid continual flashing of the OD Off light.

The result stated in the Hayes says: "If all monitored circuits are operating correctly you will see one long flash, followed by one long pause, followed by ten short flashes of equal duration with short pauses of equal duration between them."

Reviewing the FSM the result listed AT-48 is: "All judgement flickers are the same" but in the footnotes illustrates t1, t2, t3 blinking durations.

The second link provided describes 10 consecutive judgement flashes as a result... mine was continuously flashing though (no long, no short, no stop). Should I assume it is a repeating system like with the CEL codes?

The third link mentions 16 flashes at start up - which I am not getting.

So what occurred with my max was neither of the above but an instantaneous flashing of the OD Off light once I depressed the accelerator pedal. No 2.5/2.0/1.0 second intervals, just a flashing at about .5 seconds?
