Code P0700

(DTC) CODE # P0700....Transmission Control System (MIL Request) Translation: Transmission Control Module (TCM) Malfunction or Failure. P0700 Information Code The Transaxle Control Module (TCM) monitors the malfunction of sensors and actuators relating to transaxle control. If any malfunction is detected, the TCM informs the PCM by sending a signal (P0700 code). P0700 means that a code has been set in the TCM. This code is for information ONLY. If this code is present, check for transaxle codes. So basically, the P0700 code is telling you to check the TCM for a transaxle DTC. The TCM can not turn on the check engine light so it has the PCM do it. The dealer probably saw the code P0700 and went to the TCM and pulled out the code stored there telling them the Transmission Solenoid Assembly (TSA) is bad. This is a good example of understanding what the codes actually mean. If the manual you looked at said the TCM is bad and to replace the TCM when you see a P0700, then it is wrong.

1997 Chevy 2500 4x4 - Loss of power

1997 Chevy 2500 4x4, 350 Engine, Automatic Transmission. Runs great for 2 Hours and then won't hardly go. Still idles fine, still runs but without pulling power. Fuel Trim is within spec, O2 sensors are new and working correctly, Back pressure on exhaust is 1.0 (within spec) Fuel pressure is 65 KOEO and 58 KOEO. Every thing seems to be in order. But when this happens you can spray some starting fluid in it and get it to break the tires loose as long as you keep spraying in starting fluid. I was wondering if anyone out there has seen this and if it could be related to the spider injectors ???

Nebraska Lemon Law Information

The Nebraska Lemon Law applies when, during the first year following delivery of a new vehicle: 1) the dealer has attempted to repair the same problem four (4) or more times, or 2) the vehicle has been out of service for repairs at the dealership for a cumulative total of 40 or more days. There are other cases where the Lemon Law would apply - for example, an arbiter or judge might decide that a life-threatening defect does not need four repair attempts before concluding the vehicle is a lemon. As long as you notify the manufacturer in writing of your intention to pursue lemon status for your vehicle before the end of the 1-year period, your claim will still be valid even if the process extends beyond the 1-year limit. The Nebraska Lemon Law applies only to problems that substantially impair the use or market value of the vehicle, and problems that are not the result of abuse, neglect, or unauthorized modifications of the vehicle.

No Start - 1993 Chevy Full Size Blazer

Vehicle Problem:

I have a 1993 Chevy K5 Blazer. It was driving fine and then died as I pulled into the driveway at home. Tried to restart it and it just sputters.

This Vehicle was towed into my Shop:

Solution:

First I checked for spark, spark was good. Then I installed a fuel pressure gauge and measure 0 psi of fuel pressure. I then applied voltage to the pump from the fuel pump relay. No fuel pressure. Dropped fuel tank and replaced fuel pump and strainer. Also replaced fuel filter. Tested fuel pressure at 15 psi and Blazer now runs fine.

Repair cost for fuel pump, strainer and filter $300.00 + tax

No Heat -

Question:

My temperature gauge does not move past 170 and is will only blow warm air, not hot like it used to. My coolant level is full and its not overheating.... What could it be ?

Answer:

The most common cause for this situation is a Thermostat that is stuck in the open position. This allows the coolant to continuously flow through the engine. This keep the coolant from being able to get as hot as it should. Normal operating temperature is between 180-220 degrees. Have the thermostat replaced and all should move back to normal.

If by chance your thermostat is not stuck in the open position, then the most likely event is that your heater core is clogged and will need to be replaced.

My Car Won't Go in Gear

Vehicle Problem: I Have a 1998 Chrysler Seebring. Occasionally it does not want to go right gear.I just had the shift solenoids replaced for the same reason. What could it be? Solution: While test driving the vehicle I quickly notice the symptom it was brought in for. As I put the shifter in gear the vehicle did nothing until I reved the engine slightly and then it began to move. I drove the car around the parking lot and stopped with the car still in gear. Waited 30 seconds and had to rev the engine slightly to get it to move. This confirmed the symptom the customer was having. I left the engine running and popped the hood. I removed the transmission dipstick and proved my suspicion, it was not even registering on the stick. After adding fluid, in the amount of two quarts, I let it settle and double checked the fluid level. Test drove the vehicle for 20 minutes around town and had no more issues. Triple checked the trans fluid level and all was well. Raised the vehicle to see where the lost fluid might have gone since the transmission is a completely sealed unit. Cleaned off the bottom of the engine/transmission area and ran the engine. No signs of leaks found. Drove the vehicle around town for another 20 minutes and recheck underside for leaks, still no sign of leaks. I can only assume that the dealer that had replaced the shift solenoids did not top off the transmission fluid level. Customer is now happy !! Cost to the customer was $94.00 plus tax...
