P0700

This fault code is set when the torque converter lock up function does not activate within one to 3 minutes of cruising at least 50 miles per hour. There are several things that can cause this fault, anything from worn...

Hello, thank you for writing in. The vehicle is telling you the transmission shift solenoid is malfunctioning. This may be due, and is most often due, to a bad transmission shift solenoid. The wiring to the solenoid and the TCM...

Hi there. Look on the engine for any ground wires. There could have been a ground wire that was disconnected to remove the valve covers causing all of the codes to appear. A ground that is not hook up can...

Hello. The code you are receiving stands for a transmission control malfunction. This can occur when the transmission control module, shift solenoids (https://www.yourmechanic.com/services/downshift-solenoid-replacement), wiring (https://www.yourmechanic.com/services/electric-problems-inspection), or valve body damage has occurred. Typically a serious enough error will cause the vehicle...

Hello. The key code here is likely the P1775 code, which means the solenoid for invoking torque converter clutch lockup is latched (or engaged). If this solenoid does not unlatch, or release the lockup clutch, the transmission controller gets "speed...

When the code P0700 is set in the Powertrain Computer, it means that the Powertrain Computer or PCM is seeing greater than a specified RPM difference between the rotational speed of the Input RPM Sensor and the Transmission Output RPM...

The problem with buying used tires and not having them balanced is the potential problems they can cause. Most transmissions - or more specifically, the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) which controls the transmission and drive line - contain incredibly tight...

These faults are similar, regardless of the model that year. P0705 points to a faulty transmission range switch; if the connector and harness are good, the switch will most likely need to be replaced. My recommendation would be to hire...

Hi. P0700 is a transmission control system fault and a p0750 is a fault regarding the shift solenoid. P0456 is code for a small leak detected in the evaporative emission system. For a quote on pricing please visit this site...

Those codes are mostly for the transmission control module. I would have a technician come out and test fuses and check voltages and look for a shorted wire. It will probably be a 20 amp fuse for the ECM. (https://www.yourmechanic.com/services/ecm-power-relay-replacement)...

Hello, thank you for writing in. The P0700 is a generic code telling you there are issues with the transmission control module. This can mean issues with the module itself, or any of the various sensors that are connected to...

Hi there. The computer to the transmission (TCS) has failed and is not responding to any sensors and solenoids. When the TCS fails, it shuts off power to the transmission putting it into a limp mode as if the harness...

If you have downloaded Diagnostic Trouble Code P0700 (https://www.yourmechanic.com/article/p0700-obd-ii-trouble-code-transmission-control-system-malfunction-by-spencer-clayton), that means a fault has been detected in one or more of the following transmission components: the transmission control module, the transmission valve body, the shift solenoid(s), and/or the wiring harness...

Diagnostic trouble code P0700 (https://www.yourmechanic.com/article/p0700-obd-ii-trouble-code-transmission-control-system-malfunction-by-spencer-clayton) and code P0731 indicates that there is a fault in your car's "automatic transmission control system". Although there could be a faulty "part," (such as a shift solenoid (https://www.yourmechanic.com/services/downshift-solenoid-replacement) or speed sensor (https://www.yourmechanic.com/services/transmission-speed-sensor-replacement)), there are...

The P0700 code (https://www.yourmechanic.com/article/p0700-obd-ii-trouble-code-transmission-control-system-malfunction-by-spencer-clayton) signals that the transmission control module requested for the engine control module (ECM) to turn on the Check Engine Light. The ECM controls when the light is turned on. There may be another code besides the...

The P0700 trouble code (https://www.yourmechanic.com/article/p0700-obd-ii-trouble-code-transmission-control-system-malfunction-by-spencer-clayton) is a code for transmission control module (TCM) failure. Without knowing the other codes, it will not be possible to give you an accurate answer; it all depends on the other codes: If you get...

Hi there. The codes that you are getting indicate a couple of different issues. The P0700 and P0720 codes indicate a transmission problem. These indicate a failure in the transmission output speed sensor. I have seen more wiring issues than...
