I can use some help on these. Here is the post and replies I've gotten from
another group.
Any on topic assistance would be helpful.
-- Well, I've replaced both input and output trans. sensors, to no avail.
Problem still exists.
After searching the internet, I've also cleaned all grounds under the hood.
I checked the connector to the cam sensor ( at back of head), and found it
full of oil from a blown head gasket, so I cleaned that out.
Pulled the connector at the trans, it had trans fluid in it, cleaned that.
Took to a shop ( non dealer) for a diagnostic, they said may be crank
position sensor or TCM, but could not say for sure which was bad, or even if
this would fix.
Additional research said P0700 indicates that the TCM has to be queried for
more specific codes. Is this true, can the TCM have codes that can be read?
So, my additional question, could the TCM be bad? Any service bulletins on
TCM problems? Reflash the TCM ? Can codes be read from it that will indicate
more info on the problem?
Should I have an 'accident' to get rid of this car?
I also had the trans fluid changed in 3/05 at a non dealer. No description
of ATF+4 being used on the flush, but additive used. Did I shoot myself in
the foot on this? Getting the fluid changed again today.
