this morning i was running late for work so insted of letting my jeep warm up i just got in it and went. when i put it in drive it acted like the tranny was slipping, it wouldn't grab like it should. insted it would move, but not with the speed of the engine. if i put it in 1 it would go just fine then i would put it in 2 then drive. if i did it like that it would move like it should. it is putting a code p 0700 out and all that means is tranny malfunction, wtf kind of code is that. i know the tranny is malfunctioning, why. is it because it dropped down to 29* last night and i didn't let it warm up like i normally do? if anyone else has had this prob any help would be much appriciated. oh and also after running around town trying to find someone that knew something the tranny started working just fine.

 

bands could need to be adjusted. Also the tranny module could be starting to go out.

 

Your WJ has a separate controller for the transmission. The P0700 DTC is the trans controller telling the engine controller that it has a trouble code (so it can turn on the check engine light). Most generic code readers can only read engine codes. You'll need to find someone with a scan tool that can access the transmission control module.

BTW, the 45RFE has no bands to adjust.

 

thanks
