Overdrive? You sure its a Cobe?

You can always go and pick up one of those handy little microtuners...they make great diagnostic tools.....

And O/D light means that overdrive is not enabled on an AUTO car. No 01 Cobras are auto. He/You may be referring to the traction control light which looks like a spinning donut. When that light is illuminated the computer reduces timing, cuts fuel, and applies the rear brakes to help keep traction.
