My idea is that something is wrong with the transmission system. That's what the flashing OD light means, that there is a code stored to tell what's wrong.
You need to read the codes to find out what's wrong. The places that read codes free CANNOT read these codes. You need Forscan, or a good independent shop, or a Ford dealer.

As Mark noted, "OD OFF" flashing lamp in the InstrumentCluster = TransmissionSpecific TroubleCode is set+stored in the PCM.
It could be any of a long list of codes; you need an OBD2 Scanner that will read both StandardSAE & ProprietaryFord codes.
I use an OBDLink#MX+ Modul via WirelessBT to an AndroidPhone & OBDLink app (~$100 on Amazon\Ebay) for routine maintenance,
& an OBDLink#EX Modul via WiredUSB to a WindowsLapTop & ForScan program (~$60 ON Amazon\Ebay) for detailed configurations.
There are many other options for OBD2 Scanners, both cheaper & more expensive.
