overdrive light come on and off

The problem noticed on 2001 Ford Explorer.

The overdrive lights goes on and off on dash board.

This case is related to transmission or with gear issue.

Sometimes its just a basic warning to get the vehicle fluid level checked.

But the best possible way to get the problem confirmed is get the transmission module scanned.This will tell what problem is there.In scanning the error codes are retrieved and as per that further troubleshooting is done.

On these particular case the problem was related to faulty 2nd and 5th gear and replacing the gears solved the issue and overdrive light is gone out.
Also the present condition of transmission is not very good.So its advisable to get the transmission rebuilt by proper transmission professionals.

But the ford was running fine with same transmission,so customer was not interested in replacing the complete transmission.

These details will help.
Thanks.

In this types of cases you mostly check Steady check engine light on Dash.This is because there is error code stored in the cars computer.
Getting the vehicle scanned is best option to confirm the problem as per retrieved error codes.

But as per description given about the problem,it seems like more then likely the transmission is toast. Reverse is strictly hydraulic/mechanical. No computer or electronics involved. This transmission is known for problems. Getting to the professional transmission repair rebuild shop or towards the dealer is best option.

This will help.
Thanks.
