What does the arrow light mean on a 1994 jeep wrangler 6 cylinder automatic?

On a 1994 Jeep Wrangler 6-cylinder with an automatic transmission, the arrow light typically indicates the direction of the automatic transmission's overdrive (OD) engagement.

* Arrow pointing up: Overdrive is engaged (generally better for highway fuel economy).

* Arrow pointing down or flashing: Overdrive is disengaged (often used for better engine braking on hills or for towing). A flashing arrow might also indicate a problem with the overdrive system.

If the arrow is flashing, it's a warning that you should have your Jeep checked by a mechanic. It might indicate a malfunctioning overdrive system, transmission fluid issue, or another problem. Simply driving with overdrive disengaged is not a long-term solution.
