Explorer the other day...? I have a 2002 Ford Explorer Limited with 150,000 miles on it. The truck runs great, no noise or anything. The other day "Check Transmission" appeared in my Message Center of my truck, as soon as it appeared my overdrive off light (O/D OFF) started flashing. Every time i drive my truck it takes about 5 minutes of driving before it pops up. I do not notice any additional noises, feelings, or shifting when it happens.

I just took it to the dealer to get the glass hinges on the back replaced because the other day when i opened it they failed causing my glass to fall. Luckily they were recalled about a year ago, but i find it funny that the day i get my truck back from the dealer i am dealing with this problem.

The trans fluid and other components are sealed, the only way to have them checked is to take it to a FORD dealer...so before i spend 100 bucks having them check it, any ideas of what it is? what i can expect?


Thanks guys!
