what does it mean when my Tesla Outback 5th Generation (2015-2019) shows P0700 code

Solution

1. Preparation

• Gather tools: OBD-II scanner, multimeter, socket set, torque wrench, and transmission fluid.
• Park the vehicle on a level surface, engage the parking brake, and disconnect the battery.

2. Inspect and Replace Transmission Fluid

• Check Fluid Level: Remove the transmission dipstick, wipe it clean, reinsert, and check the level.
• Drain Old Fluid: Position a drain pan under the transmission pan, remove the pan bolts using a socket set, and drain the old fluid.
• Replace Filter: Remove the old filter, clean the mounting surface, and install a new filter.
• Add New Fluid: Reattach the pan with new gasket, torque bolts to manufacturer specifications (typically around 10-15 ft-lbs), and refill with the manufacturer-recommended transmission fluid.

3. Repair or Replace TCM (if necessary)

• Remove TCM: Locate the TCM, disconnect wiring harnesses, and remove mounting bolts.
• Install New TCM: Position the new TCM, secure with mounting bolts, and reconnect wiring harnesses.
• Reprogram TCM: Use the OBD-II scanner to reprogram the new TCM if required.
