Check engine and OD light flashes at same time

My wife just remembered to tell me that the check engine light is on and the OD light on the shifter flashes while going down the road.

Any Ideas?

01 Expedition, 75k miles. 5.4 liter, 4x4

Thanks guys!

You need to get the DTC code stored in computer to be sure what it was.
Could be the rear VSS sensor

Could be any one of dozens of things. You need to get the codes read.

Go to AutoZone or wherever, have the codes read. WRITE DOWN the actual code numbers (DTC)(not the descriptions). Do not let the drone at the store attempt to diagnose the fault or sell you any parts since most do not have the needed skilles or experience.

Come back here and look for prior discussions by clicking on SEARCH and using the DTC as your SEARCH keyword. If you need anything expanded upon or additional information, just ask.
