Flashing O/D light

[myvols2002]

I have a 2004 Sentra automatic that has started flashing the O/D light about 5 times when I start it and then goes out. Most of the time it runs like normal but this morning when I put it in gear it was stuck in second gear. Had to give it a lot of gas to get going. I turned it off and restarted it. The light flashed again but the transmission was fine. I drove about 60 miles with no problems and when I got home I turned the motor off and restarted it and the light did not flash like it did when it was cold. What could be causing this?

Thanks for any help.

Could be many things. . . There is a light sometimes and sometimes the tranny will cycle through without a problem and will turn the light off. The car should be throwing a code so your best be would be to check the wiring to all the sensors to insure they are clean. Past that you need to take it somewhere with a scan tool capable of pulling tranny codes.
