Question Why does my overdrive light flash when my car starts?

I own a 2001 Nissan maxima gle with 60k

Recently when I start the car, The overdrive light flashes a few times.

In addition the service engine light illuminates (I plan to get the code read at autozone tmw)

Does anyone know why the O/D would flash a few times?

Thank You for any advise you offer.

Re: Why does my overdrive light flash when my car starts?

Mine flashed whenever I unplugged the transmission sensor on purpose to get full line pressure shifts when I was racing...but other than that, it could be bad news, as maxima's automatic transmissions are not known for their longevity.

Find out what the Service manual says (see links on my page): Is it ? the same each time - could be a error code.
