Same. We have a 2003 Toyota Matrix. It was reassuring to watch this video and here him say the year of his truck being as old as our car. Plus the definition of the O/D system of the vehicle helped me continue to self diagnose our situation. Thanks!

Check your speed sensor. They sometimes become corroded due to moisture incursion.

Great video. My 7.3 Ex is not shifting smoothly btw 0 and 30 mph. Od light is flashing and I am getting p1832 and p1876 on forscan. Any thoughts on next steps? Thank you

Tom - as a first step I'd recommend checking fuses and relays and making sure those are all good. It seems like these codes are tied to electrical issues a lot of the time. Think its fuse #27 that likes to go bad but double check your manual/fuse box diagram.

Possibly a sticking shift solenoid but more than likely time for a rebuild.

What caused mine was a bad psom in the dash cluster. I just replaced the entire dash cluster with a rebuilt one and it solved all my hard shifting and OD light flashing issues. There’s a sensor on your rear end and there’s a sensor on the back of your transmission and the psom in the dash and they are all communicating with each other, so if one fails is when your od light starts flashing and your transmission will start hard shifting. There’s one other thing that I’ve seen causing this problem and that’s when the third brake light is knocked out sometimes the od light will start flashing and the hard shifting follows behind.

I’m guessing I have the same issue because I’ve learnt if I just smack the dash once or twice it stops flashing and shifts fine

Had same problem on 96 ford vanand it was the speed cluster that sits behind speedometer. Nobody mentions thus. Speed sensor sends signal to cluster then to PCM

D - Thanks for sharing your experience. Could be a sensor sense it's a newly rebuilt transmission.

Very interesting video! we have exactly this issue too on our ford 200 F350. Sometimes the OD is flashing also sometime the code P0720 pops up but also the P1876. I also realised that water from the windshield went into the car. I noticed a weird noise from the following relay: F57B-14B192-AA Funny thing is that this issue only appeared when there was rain of course. Now I sealed the leak. I guess this will solve all problems but not sure if I have to replace the relay? because it didnt get wet only the cable which are connected to this relay :) What do you think?

i have a 02 f150 (5.4L V8 triton) and it’s running right at 4k rpm’s sometimes 4100 rpm’s when i’m going 70-75mph. haven’t put it over that since i got it not long ago, any ideas on what might be wrong with it? i don’t know much about trucks, but i don’t think the rpm’s should be that high 😂

Getting the flashing tow/haul truck is wanting to almost die like stall when I come to a stop or while in park the dash like flickers/dims and trucks acting like it’s kinda missing while in park

I need help with this, recently tried to fix this on my 2000 Ford Expedition. What's weird is that the light only flashes when I'm outside of Park if I shift back to park it fixes itself so I think is just a electrical problem.

I would suggest scanning for transmission codes...just because it doesn't blink in park doesn't mean there isn't a problem...my guess is whatever the problem is only occurs while in gear and not in park which would make sense why it doesn't blink in park.

Hi, I have a 1994 corolla. So far, (within the last two years) I have had 4 brand new alternators & new batteries installed, new pcv valve & grommet, new speed sensor, replaced the fule injectors, checked electrical for short (but I dont think the mechanics have actually taken the time to check), New iridium spark plugs, replaced air filter, replaced battery terminals, new motor mounts, New front suspension (control arms, sway bar links, bushings, drive shafts). I have been doing research and I think maybe it could be the Throttle Position Sensor? Other symptoms my car has is it has a squealing noise near the alternator. I'm not sure if the mechanic at some point changed the belts in one of those 4 instances where he replaced the alternator. I also suspect the pulleys may need replacing although the belt and the pulleys look fairly new but I I suspect one of those things could be causing the alternator and battery to go bad and also causing the OD light to flash. Or maybe the TPS is causing those issues. I don't know I am so frustruated.
