Rob_B Posted September 2, 2002 Share Posted September 2, 2002 Hi Guys.. I almost forgot about this problem until it happened the other day... Every now and then when I give the Supe some serious welly I notice that the overdrive light flashes. I remember that this is some kind of diagnostic code so i noted the sequence... flash - 2 second delay - flash - 2 second delay, and so on, etc etc etc. Any of you guys know what this means ??

eyefi Posted September 3, 2002 Share Posted September 3, 2002 i think its something to do with overheating atf. does it do it when u use manual mode? its not a diagnostic as such (unless u have shorted the diagnostic pins) its a warning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the advice... Rgds, Rob. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrboost Posted September 3, 2002 Share Posted September 3, 2002 mine was doing that. It turned out to be a wire behind the mileometer the blue silver and red one that was pinched inbetween the dash. Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark brown Posted September 3, 2002 Share Posted September 3, 2002 This fault is usually caused by speedo conversion problems, faulty converter or broken wiring. Mark Brown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_B Posted September 4, 2002 Author Share Posted September 4, 2002 Hasn't had the conversion done yet... I'll check behind the dash though and make sure everything looks ok.. Hi Mark...
