My daughters Ranger started flashing the OD light on the dash. A day later, she says that it is sometimes free revving while driving. After checking the fluid, it was a bit low. I went ahead and changed out the filter and fluid. Level is good now. No leaks anywhere with it. OD light is still flashing. Code reader does not see a code. I am told that the check engine light has to be on for a scanner/code reader will see a code. I have driven for about a 1/2 hour tonight. Stopping several times and cycling the key. I had it do the free revving to me once. I believe it happened as it was shifting to either 3rd or 4th. Wouldn't do it again... shifting into 2nd sometimes seems harsh.
I am at a loss. I am thinking it is a shift solenoid, but which one? What can I do to figure this out if the check engine light doesn't come on?
Thanks for any input.
