OD stands for Over Drive and it just means that your car is adjusting its actions to save money and gas.
The O/D off light flashing indicates that the powertrain control module has detected a malfunction - have the Explorer scanned for trouble codes in order to diagnose and repair the problem
pulse generator is bad
I have a 2002 F350 and my OD light came on, that was 3 transmissions ago... by default the fords are in OD, you have to turn it off when towing. Never tow without turning the OD off first. My experience was that the trans was burned up, and the light kept flashing, or You might be exceeding the speed for being in OD.
When the O/D OFF light flashes , that means the powertrain control module has detected a malfunction - get it checked out
The OD Light flashing means that there has been a loss of pull in one of the clutches it is more than likely the overdrive clutch, Don't push the transmission much while in OD our you might blow the clutch out. Get it fixed soon before you lose one of your clutches.
If your O/D off light is flashing in your gauge cluster that means the powertrain control module has detected a malfunction
disconnect the battery cable to reset the onboard computer then check the transmission fluid to make sure the level is ok.
