Hi. I have the same thing. The code I pulled TODAY is 1405.....
According to the codes listed in the FAQ section:
http://www.contour.org/FAQ/FAQ.php?s=probs&displayid=10
that is a code indicating a problem with hose going to DPFE sensor which is part of the EGR system. Don't see how that would be related to o/d light. Hose goes from the sensor, which is located under the EGR valve, to the EGR-to-exhaust-manifold tube. There are two hoses which measure pressure across a venturi in this tube, thereby allowing the PCU to deduce EGR flow. Hoses are of different diameter. To gain access you have to at least remove hose to IAC valve although a hose to PCV and one other may also have to be removed. Tricky area too see and to get hand into. Usually you would hear exhaust leak if hose was off or damaged. Problems with these hoses may also indicate too much backpressure in exhaust (possible cat plugged).
Could that cause the car to jerk when going from 1 to 2nd gear? When my O/D light goes off that is what happens.
