God day
My LC80 has an automatic transmission model A442F and it is having the problem that when you put the transmission in D, the car starts in second gear so i have to manually put L to start because it moves slowly in D.
I don't know if it has any relationship, the overdrive light is flashing.
So I ask this forum for help to resolve this situation.

regards
 
The file attached to the link is transmission trouble shooting. It’s probably a bad shift solenoid and the flashing o/d means there is a transmission fault.

Do not drive like this, except short emergency drive you can damage a very good trans irreversibly.
Filed diagnostics - look and smell the oil on the dipstick; if it is red and like new it is not a mechanical problem. If it is dark with particles and smells burnt then it is trans problem.
Read codes as per FSM by jumping the correct points on the DLC and reading the OD light blinks. You have code that's the reason that the OD blinks
If it is a solenoid, then get a set (4) ISUZU sol. They are AISIN OEM and cost 10% then Toyota ridiculous price for exactly the same sol.
Get the Toyota Oil filter and gasket and you set to go.
Do not use fancy synthetic trans oil! Use exactly what is recommended on the FSM.
