There is a code, you just are not using the right tool to read it. Without the code NOBODY knows what's wrong.

Thanks will have it read by another reader. The reader my son is using is the one he uses for his shop.

I bet it's just a basic scanner that most auto part stores use to check check engine lights with. As stated that will not tell you anything. AE and I believe the fancy smanchie snapon should do the trick.

I don't know if it's any different with these than the OBS, but my OBS used to do this. The O/D light would flash or come on and the tranny would spaz. It would jump pressures way up, shift super hard and a couple months later the tranny quit.

If you ignore the flashing light and keep driving that's usually what happens. If you get the codes read you can find out what's wrong and fix it. Sometimes it is something really simple.
