Safety Warnings

  • ⚠Disconnect the battery before working on electrical systems.
  • ⚠Allow the engine to cool before opening the transmission pan.

Symptoms

  • •Check engine light illuminated
  • •Transmission shifting issues (harsh or delayed shifts)
  • •Decreased acceleration performance
  • •Vehicle going into limp mode
  • •Erratic gear engagement

Diagnostic Steps

  1. 1Scan for error codes using an OBD-II scanner to retrieve additional codes related to the transmission.
  2. 2Check the transmission fluid level and condition (look for discoloration or burnt smell).
  3. 3Inspect wiring and connectors related to the transmission control module (TCM) for damage or corrosion.
  4. 4Verify proper operation of the TCM by checking for communication with the engine control module (ECM).
  5. 5Test the transmission solenoids for proper resistance and operation.
  6. 6Check for any mechanical issues within the transmission itself, such as slipping or unusual noises.

Solution

Solution

1. Preparation

  • Gather tools and parts.
  • Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface and the engine is off.
  • Disconnect the negative battery terminal to prevent electrical shock.

2. Inspect and Replace Transmission Fluid

  1. Remove the transmission pan by unscrewing the bolts with a socket wrench.
  2. Drain the old transmission fluid into a suitable container.
  3. Inspect the transmission filter for debris; replace if necessary.
  4. Replace the transmission filter as needed.
  5. Reinstall the transmission pan with a new gasket, torquing bolts to the manufacturer’s specifications.

3. Check and Repair Wiring

  1. Visually inspect the wiring harness for any frayed wires or loose connections.
  2. Use a multimeter to check for continuity and resistance in the wires related to the TCM.
  3. Repair or replace any damaged wiring or connectors.

4. Test and Replace Transmission Solenoids (if necessary)

  1. Disconnect the electrical connectors from the transmission solenoids.
  2. Measure the resistance of each solenoid with a multimeter; compare readings to specifications in the service manual.
  3. Replace any solenoids that are out of specification.
  4. Reconnect the solenoids and ensure they are secure.

5. Reconnect Battery and Clear Codes

  1. Reconnect the negative battery terminal.
  2. Use the OBD-II scanner to clear the P0700 code and any other related codes.
  3. Start the vehicle and allow it to warm up while checking for proper operation.

Verification

After completing the repair, verify that the issue has been resolved:
