flashing overdrive light

I just got back from Towing through the Colo mountains. During one incline, my overdrive light came on and started flashing. When I turned the ignition off and back on it quit flashing. It did the same thing the next day. The rest of the time it did not flash and the overdrive would kick in and out when I pushed the button.

When I got home I dumped the codes and found that the computer hadn't stored any codes.

Any suggestions on what could have been the problem and why didn't the computer store a code if there was a problem severe enough to cause the light to flash?
