In Nissan Sunny (and some other cars too), overdrive is ON when the button is DEPRESSED and there's NO LIGHT in the dashboard. The automatic transmission will utilise all the 4 forward gears (the 4th gear being the overdrive that helps in fuel economy -- similar to 5th gear in a manual gearbox). This is the recommended setting for normal driving.
When the button is NOT DEPRESSED, you turn OFF overdrive, and the indicator LIGHTS UP in the dashboard. In this mode, the automatic transmission will NOT shift into 4th gear.
where is nissan 93 pickup overdrive relay
yes. it will only shift into overdrive when it is needed.
if it is an automatic leave it in overdrive. the transmission knows when to change into the overdrive gear. if it is a manual listen to the motor. if you have in overdrive and it bogs down while accelerating then down shift to a lower gear.
In the 2002 Nissan Altima, the overdrive switch is typically located on the gear shift lever. It is usually a button or a toggle switch that can be easily accessed while driving. Engaging or disengaging overdrive helps optimize fuel efficiency and engine performance during highway driving. If you're having trouble locating it, refer to the owner's manual for specific details.
On the Nissan 240SX the electric overdrive switch is located on the right side of the transmission. Overdrive allows shifting into the auto's fourth gear.
Yes, the 2007 Nissan Frontier has a fuse related to the automatic transmission, specifically for the overdrive function. This fuse is part of the vehicle's electrical system and can affect the operation of the overdrive feature if blown. It's located in the fuse box, typically under the dashboard or in the engine compartment. Always consult the owner's manual for the exact location and specifications of the fuse.
Could possibly be shifting gears sporadically or your driving on hilly terrain.
i use my over drive all around the metro area it uses less gas. when i need a boost in speed i take it out of overdrive. to give me more pick up to pass ect...

its always best to use your overdrive when on highways at higher speeds
Hi, I have the Nissan Altima 2001 too and the overdrive switch in on the gear shifter handle and just below the shift push button.
If your 93 Nissan Pathfinder transmission won't shift into overdrive, check the transmission fluid levels. Ensure the fluid is at the proper level.
