    Do you mean the O/D light flashes? That is the only light indicating a possible transmission issue.

    If so, it represents either an electrical problem (solenoid operation inside the transmission, etc) or shows evidence of incorrect gear ratio than expected, or slippage occuring. Either way, it's not often an easy fix; recommend having the codes pulled and go from there.
