Hi, I am wondering if you can help me. The car drives fine for ten minutes then a sudden shunt and overdrive light starts flashing and car goes into limp mode. Thank you. Gary

Hi Gary,
When the overdrive light flashes, it means the transmission control module has detected a fault within the system and goes into limp mode. You need to retrieve the trouble codes to understand what is wrong to continue with diagnostics and rectification.

Most parts stores provides scaning services. Get one done and let us know what the codes are and we shall continue from there.
