Automatic Transmission and OBD II Codes
in [Toyota]

From: Jeff Strickland on 8 Sep 2009 21:52 My brother-in-law has a Ford/Mazda Explorer/Navajo. I got a call today that the O/D light was flashing, and the car was shaking and had no power. When I got home from work, the car drove fine, except for one instance at a traffic light where it seems the transmission was stuck in 3rd, and the car shook and the engine stalled. No O/D light flashing. I know that the flashing O/D light means the transmission control module is communicating a malfunction. My question is, is the malfunction stored as an OBD II Code that I can read in the same manner as reading codes from the Check Engine light?

Take it to the Ford/Mazda group! /Joe mode off.../ Hmmm...since this is a Toyota group, and all I have are older Toyotas and a Mazda and a Subaru or two, the best I can come up with is, there is a test mode connector that flashes the O/D indicator like the old CHECK ENGINE lights on Toyotas. How you get to it in a Ford...? From here, it looks like an OBD code: http://www.ford-trucks.com/article/idx/7/245/article/Ford_OBDII_Diagnostic_Trouble_Codes__P0700P0799__Transmission__.html

The symptoms you are describing sounds like the torque converter lockup is not unlocking. -- Ray O (correct punctuation to reply)
