Nissan Repair: Nissan o/d and engine check light, vehicle speed sensor, throttle position sensor


Question
I noticed on several occasion that while driving or sometimes when i start the vehicle that my engine check light stays on after the engine has started BUT the engine does not rev when i press the gas pedal. Also the O/D light flashed about 17 times. I left it and then it started again. What could be the problem? Pls help.

Answer
Horace,

Take the car to Autozone or Checker and get the check engine code read for free and lets see what it says the problem is.  The overdrive light shows the transmission codes and these are listed below:

Ten flashes of equal length=Everything OK

First flash longer than the others=Vehicle Speed Sensor(Revolution Sensor)

Second flash longer than the others=Vehicle Speed Sensor Meter

Third flash longer than the others=Throttle Position Sensor

Fourth flash longer than the others=Shift Solenoid Valve A

Fifth flash longer than the others=Shift Solenoid Valve B

Sixth flash longer than the others=Overrun Clutch Solenoid Valve

Seventh flash longer than the others=Torque Converter Clucth Solenoid Valve

Eigth flash longer than the others=Transmission Fluid Temperature Sensor And TCM Power Source

Ninth flash longer than the others=Engine Speed Signal

Tenth flash longer than the others=Line Pressure Solenoid Valve

I would check the fluid to make sure it is full when hot and on a level surface, idle, and in park.
