2008 honda cr-v 5-speed automatic... push overdrive button on shifter and indicator light D3 comes on. What exactly is this telling me....that overdrive is engaged or that it's disengaged and
If all is working well with the transmission. when you push the button and the light comes on, you should feel a down shift at higher speeds. the 3D light would come on. You are at that point out of overdrive. Pushing the button again, you would feel it going into to overdrive. This is normal

There is another recall on the cruise control. The first added a fuse. This new recall is about wiring and lighting problems caused by the cruise. Everything from not shifting out of Park to no brake lights to false dash indicators. Best to contact the dealer, if it is a recall its free.

My o/d light flashes and engine revs and has no power when i shut off and restart it will be fine. f350 deisel
How many miles are on the transmission?? It sounds like there is low pressure going to the overdrive clutches or the electronic valve body controller in the transmisssion causing the flashing od light. Pretty typical. The fix would be have the transmission scanned, and it should narrow it down for you.

My overdrive light is flashing indicating the overdrive is off
this could mean there is a problem with the transmission,but most times when OD light is flashing it is because the wiring to the OD switch is broken.
is the OD switch on the end of the gear shift lever ?
or does your vehicle have the shifter on console between seats ?
