Default 1998 Mazda B4000 OD Light Flashing

My od light will start flashing after driving my truck for a few miles. I do not notice any hard shifting or anything abnormal. I have to pull over and turn my truck off. When I start my truck again the issue is resolved. Any ideas on what this could be? I tried to research some possibilities, and it looks like it could be:

1. Solenoid
2 transmission range sensor
3. Transmission speed sensor

any advice would be helpful.

Thank you!

No help on your problem, but since you have same truck as me was wondering if you have replaced the evap canister? have looked for location on you tube and don't get exact location. I'm too old to crawl under the truck seven times looking for that thing. thanks. good luck on your problem. I may have it come up on mine also.

Default Part location

Hello, unfortunately I’m not for sure where that is located. I’ve noticed it is difficult to find YouTube videos and instruction for Mazda b4000 trucks. Good luck to you.
