The easiest and most thorough method is to disconnect the POSITIVE (+) battery cable, and ground it to the NEGATIVE (-) battery post for about 30 seconds. This will bleed off the power stored in the capacitors that the PCM uses to maintain the learned adaptives. This will cause the PCM to go to it's default setting. This is referred to as a Hard Reset or Field Reset.

 

Can someone please tell me how to pull these codes?

 

A lot of the franchised auto parts stores do it as a courtesy, like "Auto Zone".

 

Just pulled it, code P0700. Anyone tell me what this is?

 

You really need to take some time out to go through the FAQs at the top of this section because in there they already answer your Qs in posts 9, 12 and 14.

P0700 is a transmission damage code but you already know that because your tranmission wont shift and is limp mode.

P0700 Transmission Control System Malfunction

they do not have a link to any help page for that one.

I did find this, that had a little more info, but not much

" The P0700 code is for information only and the next step is to check for transaxle codes in the Transaxle Control Module (TCM). So you'll have to have the dealer or another qualified shop/technician pull the transaxle codes from the TCM and go from there."

 

There are several threads on this board about P0700. Everyone I have read all has to do with replacing internal parts inside the transmission

 

But shouldn't a code reader pull all of the TCM codes? The TCM codes are standard OBDII and are not proprietary like ABS and Air bag codes, aren't they?

 

P0700 is his only code. However it is a generic trouble code and specifies very little
