Overdrive OFF /trans issue?
Ok, so I have read LOTS of threads and been through the FSM and can't find a problem quite like mine. Please forgive if there is, I haven't found any.
Here we go:
Crank up the truck, O/D OFF light is not flashing. Drive down road, still no flash. 15 seconds after tranny goes into O/D, light begins 2 second interval flash. Ok, I go back to my shop and pull in, put in park, light still flashing. Shut truck off, short pin as advised on NUMBEROUS posts and watch light..................still watching.............getting bored......... NO FLASHES ON O/D OFF light. Turn off switch, pull jumper. Start truck.............NO FLASHING O/D OFF light!!!!! drive down road, still off, 15 seconds after it shifts into O/D the OFF light starts flashing again!!!!

i have a 93 4 runner doing the same thing. steady 2 sec blinks ect.. I ended up pulling the EFI fuse out and put it back in and that seemed to clear the blinking for now. the book says a steady pulse is normal but, you think it would go out after doing its check. i will let you know what i find if it starts blinking again

It's fixed!
The way to check the trans code is NOT to short the same wires you do to check the engine code, according to the FSM you have to ground the DG (no clue about the name) connector which is on the drivers side inner fender by the coil:

once I did that it flashed the code (speed sensor) and I was able to fix the problem!!!!
WOW can't believe this was so difficult to figure out.............But now I know and hopefullt someone else wont have to struggle like I did.
