Default Re: help I'm in mexico with code P0700

cintra07 welcome to the forum.

Candyman is on the right track as being low on fluid could cause the transaxle to throw the code and cause the computer to put you into Limp Mode (low gears only). That mode will stop you from doing more damage to your tranny.

Usually anyone with the first fault code (P0700) is told that they need to take it to someone with a scanner to find out the exact problem by scanning the TCM (transmission Control Module).

There's been a lot of problems with the Transaxle Solenoid Packs but I'd hate to tell you to just change that out and it not be the problem.

If none of the dealers or mechanics in your area have a computer or scanner, the only thing to do is throw parts at it. Actually some dealers here in the U.S. do the same thing anyway. It's an expensive way to fix things.
