What does "O/O off" message mean on a 1998 Ford Ranger?

Question

Noticed on the lower right corner of the display panel this message, "O/O off". Don't have an owner's manual, so haven't a clue what that message means. Would appreciate finding out what my pick up is trying to tell me, so I can take care of it, if it needs repairing. After I turned of the truck and then turned it back on, the message did not come back.

Answer 1

Overdrive is off means that the top gear in the transmission has been locked out, and you're not getting the best possible fuel mileage. There SHOULD be a button inside the end of the shift lever OR a switch on the dash board that you can push to turn the overdrive on and off. Leave it ON for all "normal" driving.

Answer 2

OverDrive is off - you may have a button that takes the trans out of overdrive for towing/hauling etc that was accidently pushed - go to Ford.com you should be able to download a pdf of the owner manual (pdf is great because it is easily searchable).

Answer 3

The OD on/off switch is at the end of the gear shift knob.

Answer 4

It's O/D off which is the abbreviation for overdrive

Answer 5

over drive



O/D
