Usually means the fluid temperature is getting too hot in it check the
fluid level to make sure its full,and check to see when the last time it
was changed at,good luck.

The light is on because something has malfunctioned in the transmission system, this can be a sensor or wiring or the transmission has a mechanical fault. The next step is to have a scanner hooked up and read the fault code that was set in the control modules memory when it turned on the warning light. This may require a trip to the local dealer.
The light is blinking because the transmission control module (TCM) has detected a fault in the transmission operation. Have the dealer read the fault code that was set when the light came on. Then they can diagnose the problem that caused the issue.
The check engine light n or reduced power light comes on when the on-board computer detects a fault in engine driveability or performance, transmission control system or transmission, or the emissions system, and a fault code is set and stored in the computer. Faults that can set the check engine light can range from a vaccuum leak, engine mis-fire, low engine compression, faulty sensor such as O2 sensor or other engine sensor, hydraulic pressure loss in transmission, transmission shift solenoid, open/short in wiring harness, emission evaporative system leak, or one of over a hundred different reasons. The only way to know what set a fault code and turned the check engine light on is to have a diagnostic scanner hooked up to the on-board computer and read it for stored diagnostic fault codes. Many auto parts stores will do this service for free- (like auto zone)check with you local parts stores. If none in your area do, then you will have to take it to a shop and pay to have the computer read for stored fault codes. Without knowing the fault codes numbers, it would be irresponsible to guess as to the cause as there are hundreds of possible causes.
Its a general warning, there will be a fault code that will help to narrow down the fault, you will need a reader to access the code. In my own experience gearbox filters and baffles cleaned and fresh oil may cure slip in an auto box, any slip in a manual wouldnt bring up a fault code.
No it has to do with a problem in the operation of the transmission that has been detected by the Transmission control module (TCM) you must now have the TCM scanned for fault codes that will explain the source of the light being turned on.
the light only comes on when a fualt is sensed in the operation of the transmission by the transmission control computer, there are dozens of poss faults so it is key to get the system tested for the code that is stored when this light flashes
this OD light flashing means a fault has has been sensed by the transmission control module in the electronic transmission controls, to see what this fault might be have the transmission tested for electronic fault codes that are stored when this OD light flashes, many times this code will be for a transmission slipping issue, u will not fell this most times, if the transmission has more than 60,000 miles on it have the transmission fluid and filter changed and erase the codes, they may not come back
The SERVICE light coming on, indicates a fault detected by the vehicles on board computer. The fault might be transmission related, or possibly engine/emission related. Push the OFF and WARM buttons TOGETHER on the climate control panel ( with the ignition key on ) Hold for 5 seconds and failure codes should appear . Relay your findings. Hope this helps
