As stated above, can anyone explain what does it mean when the O/D indicator keeps on blinking? I've tried the gear button(on,off) the light still keeps on blinking. The car just can't switch to the normal O/D mode.
Anyone faced this problem before?

what is O/D for actually?

overdrive... for auto car... it acts as 3rd gear...

O/D is actually 4th or 5th gear in A/T.

Alright, could be a problem with the TCU (transmission control unit) or wiring / sensor on gearbox itself. Have it check by a specialist.

BTW, what car make and year?

kindly agreed with u...it is the TCU faulty...kindly visit Service Centre for replacement parts (if needed).

Just send to p2 serviece center...I think there's something wrong with the wiring. I've had experienced this before....It's just a 5min work only..hahhaha

O/D is 4th or 5th gear?????

Overdrive is your forth gear. When the light is on, it will said "OD off", meaning you will not be using the forth gear, only the first 3 gears.

O/D Off light blinking is a way the Engine Control Unit/Transmission Control Unit is telling you there is something wrong within the system. It's best you send the system to be checked with a code reader, once you get the error code, you will know where went wrong.

Or, it might just be wiring (unlikly).

try to reset fusebox/ECU.. happened to mine once..

reset the ecu.. still have the problem la.. oni hav 1st n 3rd gear.. it happen during cold start.. why r?

How to reset ecu?

Anyone in this forum already solve the issue..please share..my car also happen the same thing

Same here. It's so frustrating to drive it like that. Even after I let the car warmed up for more than 10 minutes sometimes. I have to actually find a proper place to stop and off my engine and on again, sometimes for a few times only then the car will go back to normal driving mannerism. Argh!!!!

have u tried checking the car electronically? OBD port smthg like that?

my wife's previous gen1 myvi had this issue. 3years back.
plugged into the port, error code: "synchro gearing(?)"
serviced the gearbox, 1 of the gear teeth broken.

The O/D blinking due to sensor problem inside the gearbox or maybe because the wiring (JUST HAPPEN WHEN YOU CAR CROSS THE WATER AND YOU WIRING HAVE DAMAGE) . It not about the timing chain or your gearbox in bad ass state. Normally when u go to wrong service center, they will suggest you to change the gearbox OR change timing chain OR trade in gearbox which will costly you around RM 3000-4000 for new one, second hand or recons part around RM1500-2000. When the O/D blinking, the normal gear will became overdrive mode (only 3 gear activated). Yeah, your car will became heavy and not economic fuel . Your car also will experience a "Choke" when change gear while downhill. I just repair my car due this problem. Got 2 sensor problem in gearbox. They will check the gearbox sensor condition by using electronic gadget. Check the picture and you will know it how they check. Below RM 700 just to repair sensor in gearbox. Can contact me if wanna know where to cheap repair around KL only.

Same problem with me...last time i do park somewhere to off engine and start again then ok but now seems its wont work anymore so i have to bukak kepala bateri then ok..

I go checked and ask around 4-5 workshop some say gearbox cos computer scan doesnt come with error code,perodua also do computer scan same no error code but they said timing chain need to change its cost 1200..gearbox specialist workshop said sensor dalam gearbox its cost around 600-700 to tukar that..some shop said valve body im not sure what is that..so now pening suda tomorrow i go last workshop at shah alam owner shop drive myvi and also this shop is recomended by one myvi club so see how

Hahha. The worst case is you buy a new gearbox which cost arpund rm18000 but the light still blinking so change the timing chain for rm1200. No it's still blinking so change the sensor rm800 again.

My Myvi year made 2010 now also have same problems. Got tested in perodua service centre at glenmarie.
Diagnosed they said the problem came directly from torque converter. Replacement about RM7k for original.
. Get second hand/potong punye about RM2k . Pening..

Wanted to sell off also cannot do anything.

Hi, I'm letting go my Myvi SE2 Year 2010 Auto gearbox with Torque Converter, Flywheel, Gearbox Gasket, Gearbox Bracket, Gearbox Mounting, Gear Lever, Brake and Acceleration Pedal..everything for RM900

Gearbox in good working condition, no jerking or delay in shifting gear

Mileage driven around 84,000 km with full Perodua service record available

If you're interested, you may contact 016 327 6280 (Eric)

I have same problem too. Go change timing chain and gear sensor still problem. Mine is myvi ezi 2009. Spend a lot of money. But still not ok. Last resort the mechanic said. Change gear box. Already tak dak duit and also afraid the issue is not from gearbox. So give up for now.

Daily solution to stop o/d flashing is remove the battery connector for awhile and plug back in. After doing that. No more jerking and ok until i stop the car remove the key. If i want to drive back need to do the same thing.

But lately it become worst. Hard to start. And need to press accelerator pedal until the engine start to ram. It feel like minyak didnt come to the engine and has to hold pedal long. Then baru lah the car can move.

And to make it worst. Two last night. The engine suddely stopped at the highway. Dem scare. Manage to stop at side of the road. But luckily only took one start to bring back engine on.

What wrong with this car ha? O/d issue related with another issue? Need help.

Btw. Did remove the battery connector is considering reset the ecu?

Guys,
I am experiencing the same problem.

O/D blinking, and delayed shift in the gear. With some jerking.

Brought to the service center he said can't find the problem using the diagnostic tool.

Anyone has solved it?

Is your problem being solved after the repair being done at this workshop?

hi, the sensor itself costs 700?

mine myvi also kena the same problem.
change halfcut gearbox...kena lagi...
then change timing chain...can tahan for 6 month..now kena balik...
aiya...pening lor...what a permanent solution...
can someone share their experience to overcome this problem. tHanks

My myvi 2010 also facing the o/d blinking issue. Went to workshop to check. It shows the gearbox pressure not enough. Have to replace the whole gearbox for myr2k. Instead of repairing I am sold it off for myr16k. Btw my mileage is 180k km.

Of all the comment above..this 1 seems like the only solution? Cuz some said even change the whole gearbox also still the same..
Im having the same problem with everyone..still not solve yet. Just changed the engine vvti switch/ valve timing solenoid as when i diagnose the only problem appear is the engine problem. Gearbox no problem.
Anyone know about the wiring?

My myvi 2nd gen SE 2010 model also face same.problem but mine worst .... after 80.000kms my timing start rattle very noisy even aircond compresser cannot hear even i change oil using fully one .. feel shame coz the oil cost me more during service ... then those od blinking problem just coming up . What make worst every morning when going out the gear will sentap when engage .. and will run from 1st and jump to third and never change gear anymore .. sent to produa they say need to change gearbox coz sensor inside cannot change ... and also timing chain ... even give me cost more then rm 6k to change everything not include labor coz in miri sarawak ... and then dunno to speak cos those repair to expensive to do ... now need to find halfcut coz more cheap like those 3sz ve vvti just rm 5k for engine ecu gearbox and hardness huhh ... what make feel loss faith to this myvi. loan also not finish and yet give lots of problem

Pls update here if the OD problem solved after u change the gearbox. But other ppl comment before that after changed gear box and timing chain still got problem on the OD blinking. One of the comment above said wiring problem. Only 5minutes to fixed the OD problem..
