There is no overdrive, per se, but a mode switch called "Power Mode" that doubles as an overdrive, allowing more RPMs per gear.
In Nissan Sunny (and some other cars too), overdrive is ON when the button is DEPRESSED and there's NO LIGHT in the dashboard. The automatic transmission will utilise all the 4 forward gears (the 4th gear being the overdrive that helps in fuel economy -- similar to 5th gear in a manual gearbox). This is the recommended setting for normal driving. When the button is NOT DEPRESSED, you turn OFF overdrive, and the indicator LIGHTS UP in the dashboard. In this mode, the automatic transmission will NOT shift into 4th gear.
The computer is not happy and you need a properly qualified person to figure it out.
Overdrive requires more power and decreases the life of a battery so avoid overdrive to increase the battery life.
Push the tow mode button
no it will not. the 1995 Camry has one speed sensor, the 1992 Camry has two speed sensors. The car will go into limp mode and after 10 minutes of driving the Overdrive light will continue to flash indicating a shifting problem. It will not shift in 1st or 2nd gear. It will stay stuck in 3rd gear (limp mode)
If your transmission is picking up a fault it will go into protection mode, No OverDrive, This may just be a solonoid or perhaps something more serios like a pressure problem. Long term running in this condition will most likely cause damage, A transmission service is a small price to pay when compared with a recon or new trans.
Where is valet switch on 2002 nissan altima
I'm guessing the power mode is the same thing as Overdrive. Basically you only want to use power mode if you are hauling something with your vehicle.
Is there a button to activate the overdrive on the transmission. If the button is activated and not in overdrive mode the car will never shift into 4th gear.
The button does not switch from Overdrive to Automatic. The button just turns the overdrive off. Overdrive is not a separate drive system as your question implies. Normally you leave the car in overdrive mode. That way the transmission shifts into overdrive at highway speeds, thus saving fuel. If you are saying the transmission is stuck in overdrive and it will not disengage then seek out a A/T professional.
