Not really because the codes that come up when the overdrive light blinks cannot be read durning the standard KOEO tests. These codes have to actually be recorded in real time. In other words, you will have to have an active scanner hooked up to the car that will monitor all inputs and outputs. Then, when a problem arises the scanner will record something like 15 seconds of data. That is the only way you will find out what the code is.

You wouldn't happen to have a copy of Alex Pepper's OBD-II software and a laptop would ya? If so, you would be in business. Only other option would be to take it to a tranny shop and let them find it.

Sorry mate!



Someone said that before and I have said before it is [censored].

I get O/D off light sometimes in the morning I get code PO731 1st gear shift ratio incorrect.

The light wasnt blinking when I had it scanned and the guy that did it used an OBD II.
