Welcome to the forum

Flashing OD light means there are Transmission Codes set in computers memory so you should go to auto parts store and have codes read, WRITE THEM DOWN!!!!!!!

Trans codes start with P07xx or P17xx

That will tell you whats wrong but not directly, codes are in computerese not english, so grain of salt.
I.E. "Speed sensor out of range" does NOT mean a problem with speed sensor, if fact any code that mentions a sensor by name usually means that sensor is working or code could not be set in the first place, lol.

What good are the codes then????
They tell you where NOT to look for the problem, narrow down the field
