Overdrive light flashing off

The other day my ck engine light came on then a couple of days later I notice that the overdrive light started to flash off. The light flashed for about 15-20 min then went to off. When I turned the truck off it went back to the on position and no other problems. also when I put the computer on the truck it gave a code for "speed sensor detecting over one mph variance" dont have the exact code. what could this be

You could pull the VSS (Vehicle Speed Sensor) from atop the rear diff and inspect for any metal fragments that may be on it.

How's your tire pressures?
