I was doing a short drive, around half an hour both ways, while I was going to my destination, my check engine light came on, then on my way back from my destination the OD light started blinking, at that time, I could smell something burning, I wasn't going over 65 mph, and I wasn't having any noticeable shifting issues, I was able to get home just fine, driving it to my shop today, the Check Engine Light was still on, but the OD light didn't come on at all through the drive. I'm checking the codes today, just wanted ya'lls thoughts on the matter, I'm going to check codes, trans fluid level, and the like.

My OD light came on ( stay steady) . it was the torque converter (common problem at that time). It was replaced under warranty. I was disconnecting the negative battery cable at the battery too clean the light. It would go off and on, till the dealer got the converter too replaced it.
