Sounds like the 4th/OD gear isn't engaging. Solenoid for the OD might not be working?

It's a 1990 JDM Lumiere G. It does have the power and normal transmission modes. However since my post, i've been doing some digging myself.
The temp sensor that operates my fan has been damaged at the wire so the fans run straight all the time. I read in the service manual that O/D will not engage if engine temp is under 122 degrees Celsius and according to my temp gauge, it's most times stopped at a 1/4 way, closer to the c due to the straight fans. I've not been able to test if it's actually the fan causing it indirectly as yet, haven't found a replacement sensor. But it still doesn't explain the ECL that comes on.
As you mentioned he pwr and norm modes, i had an issue before regarding the pwr mode. I used to drive in this mode and after a while, i started getting a ECL in 3rd. It was suggest that it might have been ign timing. Still haven't checked it yet, still looking for someone with a timing light. So until then, to be safe, i drove in norm mode, and wasn't getting that issue............. until now. it just started doing the same thing that it was doing in pwr recently. kinda wanna get rid of it. I don't like seeing that ECL illuminate, even tho it goes out after i back off. still annoying tho.
