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

[trdproven]

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?

Found the problem. As it appears, there is also a seperate diagnostic other than the check engine light OBD. Also specifically for the transmission, the OD light flashes codes as well. Mine blinked 6 pause 3. Manual does not state anything dealing with this. However, I read online on some toyota faqs that from a 1987 camry issue similar to mine, a user posted what he called OD lamp codes. 63 states no. 2 solenoid, which explains alot of things. All over the net, research pointed many times to solenoid issues particular #2. This makes sense because this tells the transmission to shift. with it malfunctioning, my car shift from gear 1 to 3 skipping 2 and makes my car appear that it is lacking power but in actuality, it is shifting to a higher gear too early. Those who know manual trans know that if you shift from gear 1 to 3 right away it simulates exactly the same symptoms. I've attached the codes below. Anyone know how to change the solenoid if it is easy or requires professional help?


*O/D Lampe codes:
42 - Vehicle Speed Sensor
62 - No. 1 Solenoid
63 - No. 2 Solenoid
64 - Lock-Up Solenoid
DTC (by using OBDII Scan Tools)
P0500 - Vehicle Speed Sensor
P0750 .- (2) No. 1 Solenoid
P0753 - No. 1 Solenoid Circuit Malfunction
P0755 - (2) No. 2 Solenoid
P0758 - No. 2 Solenoid Circuit Malfunction
P0770 .- (2) (3) Lock-Up Solenoid
P0773 -(3) Lock-Up Solenoid Circuit Malfunction
P1780 - Park/Neutral Position Switch Malfunction
