OD light blinking when idling

Hi all,
my OD light has started blinking lately, not all the time and only when I let off the pedal. Blinking stops when i touch the pedal slightly. New fipl (set to 1.0 volts) and new rear ABS sensor, (CC ok) shifting is usually ok but sometimes she slightly "jumps" at slow speed or the TC clutch not engaging before she is warmed up good.
Pulled codes: "23 TPS out of self test range". Tried to set fipl/tps to 1.2 volts, later shifts but blinking still there.
Checked/cleaned all connectors for sensors/trans I could find...
Have ordered a new tach sensor, but maybe others have had the same problem?

Bad wires coming from the TPS can freak it out...

Problem Solved

I got a new tach sensor and that seems to have cured the problem.
