I did a little research and the O/D off light usually indicates an internal transmission problem. Generally a solenoid in the transmission. The check engine light coming on at the same time is likely a coincedence indicating another problem from what I could find on-line.

I think you need to get a code reader that can read Ford transmission codes. Most over the counter consumer readers can't read tranny codes.

You could cross your fingers and disconnect the battery negative terminal for 20 minutes to clear the codes and see if the problem is gone. But your mention of the grinding noise tells me you've almost certainly got internal transmission problems.
