Not unusual. The CEL is there to tell you that the onboard computer has detected an anomaly (or more), and has stored a code in its memory to assist in determining the failure. You need an OBD-II code reader to retrieve the codes from the computer and take whatever corrective action is recommended based upon the code(s) found.

You need to specify which light is flashing. I'm assuming it's the engine light. It could be a range of things. You need to hook up an OBD II to your vehicle and check the fault code. An auto electrician can do this or you could buy an OBD II for around $200.
Hello - FIRST Get the codes read. Go to your local auto parts store, typically they read the obd II codes for FREE! This will NARROW it down a little.. Best regards Ck
This code is for a mechanical fault in the torque converter solonoid. Something i would definately have checked out at a transmission shop. Hope this helps you.
P1744 - Torque Converter Clutch System Stuck in Off Position.
Either way the problem points to an internal transmission problem. 1. Drive it and see if the codes come back, and see if it is slipping in overdrive.
2. Check the transmission pressure in drive, with the overdrive on and the transmission slipping.
These
transmissions have a high failure rate. Have seen internal transmission
slippage that showed up in drive with the Overdrive (OD) switch on, but
not with the OD switched off. It was related to the coasting clutch
being on and off in that range. In that case, there was an internal
mechanical transmission problem. We recommend a rebuilt transmission
from the dealer and an external transmission cooler - the new rebuilt
transmission will last longer.
Purchase or find someone with an OBD-II Scanner that can clear and read codes on 1996 and up automobiles. They can push the 'clear codes' button to accomplish tis task of resetting the check engine light.
