An electrical problem with transaxle???

Question

I ran out of gas this morning (1/2 block away from the gas station!!!) and once I filled it back up and started it, the check engine light was on and the "O/D Off" light was flashing.

I read the owner's manual (I have a 2000 Kia Spectra) and it said the when the O/D off light flashes, it indicates an electrical problem with the transaxle.

I don't even know what that means! Is there a way to fix it without taking it to a Kia dealer? Will this cost a lot of money? Ugghhh..

Thanks guys!

Answer 3

It is a KIA what is manufacture date 10/18/2000 it has a trouble service bulletin for random DTC for no reason. Does the car drive ok if so drive it a few days see if it goes out. If it stays on you get to go to the dealer.
