How do you read the OBD diagnostic?, Update: Diagnostic Result Good Info!!!!!!! Options

I'm having an overdrive light blinking again after 1.5 years later after it disappeared. I'm seeing it again but at least this time, the speedometer is not going bonkers and my tranny is not getting out of gear when I drive (basically neutral). It is an auto tranny. However, it does make my car lack power when this light comes on and blinks. It does not come on when first turning on the car and the power is great but when it comes on, it gets sluggish until you are at a good speed, it feels normal. Anyway, I was wondering if anyone knew how to correct it. I've checked my ATF level and it has enough fluid, but I read the manual last night and there is also a differential fill hole that needs oil. Perhaps my oil is too low, does anyone know where it is and what type of fluid to use for our cars? Not sure if it is also electrical. Thanks in advance!

Update: I jumped the T1 and E1 together and the light flashes so fast. There are no obvious pauses. Just keeps repeatedly blinking. The CEL that is. The net and stuff means your car is normal but my car is not acting normal as described above. However, the difference is...while I'm reading my CEL light (TRYING), here comes the overdrive light flashing together. I am having a really hard time interpreting the flashes, but like I said, it blinks constantly so fast with no obvious pauses. Any tips on how to read the code?

Yeah, Im reading about that right now.
SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM
SYSTEM DIAGNOSIS
NOTE: Before testing transmission, ensure fluid level is correct
and throttle and shift cables are properly adjusted. Ensure
engine starts with shift lever in Park and Neutral to ensure
proper adjustment of neutral start switch. Transmission must
first be tested by checking for stored codes. See RETRIEVING
CODES.
ECT ECU monitors transmission operation and contains a selfdiagnostic
system which stores code if transmission electronic control
system failure or problem exists. If a problem exists in No. 1 or No.
2 solenoids or speed sensors and code is set, ECT ECU blinks OD OFF
light on instrument panel to warn driver.
OD OFF light on instrument panel will not blink to warn
driver if a problem exists or code is stored for lock-up solenoid, or
problem exists with brakelight switch signal or throttle position
sensor signal......there was this chart too with the solenoids listed for malfunction....
Normally s1 is 1st, s1+s2 is 2nd, s2 is 3rd
