P0700
Transmission module requests the check engine light
Severity: Inspect soonTransmission codes
On many vehicles a separate transmission control module manages shifting and stores its own detailed fault codes. When it finds a fault that can affect emissions it asks the engine computer to turn on the check engine light.
How these codes differ
- P0700 is a messenger code: it says the transmission module has a fault stored, not what the fault is. The next step is to read the transmission module's own codes with a scan tool that can access it.
- P0741 is a specific transmission fault: the torque converter clutch is not locking up as commanded or slips when locked. It is one of the faults that can sit behind a P0700.
Codes that show up together
- P0700 with P0741: P0741 is the detail behind the P0700, so diagnose P0741.
- Any transmission code with harsh, slipping or delayed shifts: get it inspected soon rather than continuing to drive normally.
