Overdrive (O/D) OFF

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Ford RV Cutaway, 2008 Ford Econoline, 2008 Ford E450 Super Duty, and 2008 Ford Cutaway. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

When the Overdrive (O/D) OFF switch has been pressed, the Transmission Control Indicator Lamp (TCIL), located near the end of the selector lever, close to the O/D OFF switch, will illuminate the graphics "Overdrive OFF." Operation of the TCIL is controlled by the PCM to alert the driver that O/D OFF mode has been activated. Pressing the Transmission Control Switch (TCS) again will turn off the TCIL and restore automatic upshifts, gears 1 through 6.

Each time the vehicle is started, the transmission will automatically turn off the TCIL and automatic upshifts, all forward gears 1 through 6 will be available.

The vehicle PCM may command steady illumination of the TCIL if certain faults are detected in monitored sensors, solenoids or apply components.
