O/D flashing, sometimes, sometimes not,please help

Hello supra community,

 

I have the following problem for some days:

 

My O / D light starts flashing from nothing, and my car drives as if I got stuck in 4th gear (when starting it is as if I am in 4th gear, but also when accelerating out) ,

This morning I have removed the panel to take some pictures, then again made a test drive and car drove without problems, but on the way home, again the same game, the O / D flashes :(

Also the car drives normally, if the plug does not hang in the odometer, and suddenly the flashing starts again.

So it does not matter if the odometer plug is off or off

I also checked my fluid, its ok !

i also dont have the warning triangle,and engine shaped light top right. just the O/D Flashing

 

Enclosed a picture of how it is currently wired. (do somebody know, what "white" wire is this ?)

 

PS: Yesterday I could not go faster than 120mph (it slowed down me at 120mph and 4500 rpm), when the O / D light has flashed.

 

In my test drive today, before the O / D has flashed, I have easily made 180mph.

 

I do not know any more, maybe somebody have an idea.

 

Thanks in advance and regards from Germany

Yesterday evening, I reseted my ECU, and today morning I drove to work and again I had no problems.

Afer work I drove the "autobahn" back home, and the last 5 miles to my home, OD off again starts flashing :(

 

Today evening I tried to do the "diagnostic" i put a "wire" in Te1 and E1 but it showed me no error codes.

 

I really dont have any ideas anymore, because I never had this problem before...

Hello,

 

my car is a single turbo AT (1993)

 

No I did not work on the car before, I just removed the dash panels to get them painted.

 

Nothing electronics were changed ...

 

@drift bear

 

What you mean with "playing up"

 

Thank you

 

He means the delimiter is causing the problem as it does not let you pass 120mph

Is your odometer working when the error code is on? Does the steering also go light?

 

If the odo stops working and the car won't go past 120mph when you're experiencing the problems it could be one of the solders on the odometer have worn out. There is an easy fix on here, which fixed it for me

I have to check this,.... but my car drove fine without the flashing even when the odometer was not plugged in....

 

Is the fix you mean the "dry solder fix"

or which fix was this... ?

 

Thank you
