slugger1 Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Yesterday I noticed that the orange O/D light for the auto box is starting to flash. Not sure how long it has been doing it as it was obscured by a turbo timer mounted behind the steering wheel (now removed). Any ideas what would cause this to flash?

safcdixon Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 The speed sensor is normally the blame or the jdm speed convertor may have a wiring fault Do a search for code 42 theres a few things it could be in the threads that come up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David P Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Identify the error code it's trying to tell you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slugger1 Posted February 2, 2014 Author Share Posted February 2, 2014 I think it was the removal of the turbo timer that caused the issue as I have re-connected and the light no longer comes on. I think I will leave it alone in future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LOGIE Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 At least yours was a quick fix. I have no wipers... been at it all day. Given up now I think I'll just only drive on dry days and never go more than 1 mile from the house just in case. Problem solved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I will leave it alone in future Maybe I spoke too soon as the light is coming back on again! I assume if the ecu is reset then it should go off again?

Swampy442 Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Only until certain conditions are met i.e. certain speed for a certain time. Pull the error codes and see what you get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
