Flashing Overdrive Light

If the light has been flashing there should be a trouble code stored in the PCM. The first thing to do would be to go and get the PCM scanned for codes to lead you in the right direction.

A dealer that lies? That's rare.

Hey, anything's possible. But, like Racer said, get the codes scanned. Some auto parts stores will do it for free (Advance does it I think) so I would check that out.
