is it normal? cos when I'm driving on slippery/snow covered road for a while, it'd blink until I shut down the car.

anyone?
 






not normal for me..

only thing for me that happens, in low range, when I'm accelerating in the snow and it's spinning(the tires) the ABS will shut down after about a minute..
 






O/D Off light flashing indicates the tranny threw a code. It could just be a coincidence that it happened at the time you were driving in the snow. I'd have the codes read just to be safe.

My 4WD low will flash sometimes and I notice that I slipped out of the 4WD. Not sure if it is possible that you slipped out of OD.
 






Mine will flash sometimes and I have noticed that the engine will run faster, and the RPMs will go from about 2 to 3. It is very noticable on inclines, even the slightest ones, the engine will rev like it the gas pedit is being pressed to the floor (in cruise control mode). I think Im gonna have it checked soon because it is really getting on my nerves. Plus the gas milage really sucks then...:mad:

I dunno why but the problem is gone! I think it's because of the weather here.... too cold. and icey road. So before I drive on the snow these days, I turned off the Over Drive and the problem will be gone!
