What Does P0700 Mean?
The P0700 code is an informational code indicating that the Transmission Control Module (TCM) has detected a fault and stored one or more transmission-related codes.
Not a Specific Problem
P0700 itself doesn't tell you what's wrong - it's simply a flag that says "check the transmission codes." You need to scan specifically for transmission codes to find the actual problem.
