Overdrive will normally only come on after the engine has warmed up, there is a thermal switch from the cooling system that regulates overdrive.

SOURCE: towing with automatic in overdrive

YES! The owners manual states explicitly that "O/D Off" should be engaged whenever you are towing, I always ignored it for towing under 3000 lbs. The only way I would try it with our 4R100's is with a 4-5 plate Torque Converter Clutch and a Wood/IPT/BCS/Banks rebuilt unit running a separate cooler. The problem originated when Ford shifted to a Pulse Width Modulated (not just on/off) Torque Converter Clutch solenoid for "smoother" shifting. The increased slip in these clutches resulted in faster wear and higher heat levels... and blown solenoid packs. Another $150 down.
PS. You will not see any change in the tranny temp gage in the dash until the temp is well over 230F... too hot for Mercon! Get an aftermarket gage pod to keep an eye on things.

SOURCE: 1999 nissan frontier overdrive problem

juan: there is a cable which comes from the transmission to the throttle linkage. This is called the TV (throttle valve) cable. This is designed to work in conjunction with the position of the throttle. I'm sure you heard the term "KICK DOWN SWITCH". Well this essentially is doing the same thing. If the cable is out of adjustment, it will have a tendency to want to downshift into 3rd.
Even though overdrive is electrically actuated, it can be disengaged by the throttle position.
There is also a coolant temp sensor which keeps the transmission from shifting into overdrive until the coolant temperature reaches a certain point. The sensor tells the ECM to tell the Solenoid it's ok to supply a ground to it.
Your overdrive switch provides a ground to actuate the overdrive solenoid. Make sure the switch has a solid ground serving the circuit.
The torque converter solenoid picks up it's ground from the ECM.
Both solenoids are served by the same power source which is a switched circuit through the ignition.
I hope I have shed some new light on your problem and given you some new direction in which to look. I hope I have helped you resolve your problem. If not, I'll be watching and will be ready to offer more help if needed. ..mybunkey

The check engine light came on probably because it detected an error with your car. In this case, it sounds like the error is with your transmission. Most likely a bad solenoid. Bring the car to a place like Autozone where they will scan your car for free to retrieve the code(s) that will point to where the issue is.

2006 terrano 3GMR (import) erratic-jumping in/out of O/D on the straight

The erratic jumping in and out of overdrive (O/D) on your 2006 Terrano 3GMR with a 3.2L engine could be caused by a few different issues. Here are some possible causes and fixes:
  1. Faulty speed sensor: The speed sensor provides input to the transmission control module (TCM) to determine when to engage overdrive. A faulty sensor can cause the TCM to think the vehicle is going too slow or too fast for overdrive engagement. A mechanic can test the speed sensor and replace it if necessary.
  2. Low transmission fluid level: Low transmission fluid level can cause the transmission to shift erratically or not engage overdrive. Check the transmission fluid level and add fluid as necessary. If the fluid level is low, it's important to also check for any leaks that may be causing the fluid loss.
  3. Worn or damaged overdrive band: The overdrive band is responsible for engaging and disengaging overdrive. If the band is worn or damaged, it may not engage properly. A mechanic can inspect the overdrive band and replace it if necessary.
  4. Transmission control module (TCM) issues: The TCM controls the shifting and engagement of overdrive. If the TCM is malfunctioning, it may not engage overdrive or cause erratic shifting. A mechanic can test the TCM and replace it if necessary.
It's recommended to have a professional mechanic diagnose and repair the issue, as the transmission is a complex and vital component of the vehicle.

Reverse went out and no overdrive 1996 Chevy Silverado

  1. ransmission fluid: Low or dirty transmission fluid can cause a range of transmission issues, including loss of reverse and overdrive. Check the transmission fluid level and condition, and consider flushing and replacing the fluid if it is dirty or low.
  2. Transmission filter: A clogged transmission filter can restrict the flow of fluid through the transmission and cause issues with reverse and overdrive. Consider replacing the transmission filter and flushing the fluid to see if this resolves the issue.
  3. Shift solenoid: The shift solenoid is responsible for controlling the flow of fluid through the transmission to engage different gears. If the solenoid is faulty or damaged, it can cause issues with reverse and overdrive. Consider having the shift solenoid tested and replaced if necessary.
  4. Valve body: The valve body is a complex component within the transmission that helps to control the flow of fluid and engage different gears. If the valve body is damaged or worn, it can cause issues with reverse and overdrive. Consider having the valve body inspected and replaced if necessary.
  5. Internal transmission damage: If none of the above issues resolve the problem, there may be internal damage within the transmission that is causing the loss of reverse and overdrive. In this case, it may be necessary to have the transmission rebuilt or replaced.
It's important to address these issues promptly to prevent further damage to the transmission or other components in your Chevy Silverado

Check transmision light comes on and it wont shift to overdrive ,Whats sthis mean

This mean thet there are some problems of transmision and the computer doesn't allow you to overdrive becouse you can destroy it. It's a protection measure. You must go to service for a test.
