tayr Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 Okay.. so i am completely new to the Auto world and i'm still learning what O/D actually is and what the buttons and selections do. However - with O/D off the light flashes every couple of seconds on the dash. This is partnered with the slip control light being permanently on. I'm going to check the wheel speed sensors when i get a chance, but is there any other thing that may be causing this that i can check at the same time? I thought it could be a dodgy Slip control switch but that doesn't really explain the O/D flashing.. plus with the switch unplugged it still stays on.

rider Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 There are a ton of threads on this around the Supra forum World so if you google it then you'll find those easily. Invariably comes down to ABS sensor or the ECU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rider Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 If it is the ABS sensor I did read somewhere that you can get those for £60 off a forum member but that thread has gone. That'd be much better than partting around finding an ECU repair place or a replacement ECU. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Invariably comes down to ABS sensor or the ECU. Just trying to keep the forum active but will happily google them mate will test the sensors first when I figure out how. Could that be to blame for both errors ? Edited May 11, 2021 by tayr (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rider Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 Ah right - good call. You'll find out from your pin test if its one of the ABS sensors failed. Not as big an issues as it used to be as one member mentioned he can get sensors for £60. I cannot recall his member name though, maybe someone can remind us. Failing that it's probably going to be the ABS ECU. Keeping the forum alive! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattdavies Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 Might be worth checkingout the Auto Group Pages by David P. I would also try re-calibrating your TPS sensor for the Traction control, the info you need is on the pages by David P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tayr Posted May 12, 2021 Author Share Posted May 12, 2021 I've been reading around the various posts .. i can see people saying about the O/D Flashing but they are also saying the slip control is flashing too.. On my car the Slip control light is constant, and the button doesnt make a difference wether i push it or not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hamilton Posted April 19, 2023 Share Posted April 19, 2023 I had this fault a while back so looked into it a fair bit. It seems the O/D and/or Slip Control lights flashing can indicate a number of faults so check the error codes first. In my case there were no codes at all so I ended up resoldering some of the dry joints, as described in the link below. This isn’t the only solution but it resolved the issue for me. As I say, check error codes before doing anything. Hope you get it sorted. https://mkiv.com/techarticles/trac_off_mil_odo/index.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
