Transmission Slipping

P0700 - TRANSMISSION SLIPPING





When Monitored and Set Condition

- When Monitored: Engine RPM greater than 450 RPM, output speed greater than 180 RPM, no N2 - N3 input speed sensor errors present, no gear selector lever errors present, no ABS system errors, and all wheel speeds between 70 - 380 RPM with no wheel slip detected.
- Set Condition: Calculated ratio not within allowable range for the engaged gear. No shifting operation. The TCM constantly calculates the transmission ratio based on the N2 - N3 input speed signals and the calculated output shaft speed (CAN message from the ABS). The TCM will detect if the transmission is slipping or an invalid gear ratio is present.

Diagnostic Test

1. PRE-DIAGNOSTIC CHECK OUT
NOTE: Low fluid level can be the cause of many transmission problems. If the fluid level is low locate and repair the leak then check and adjust the fluid level.

NOTE: Always perform diagnostics with a fully charged battery to avoid false symptoms.

With the scan tool, read Engine DTCs. Check and repair all engine DTCs prior to performing transmission symptom diagnostics.
With the scan tool, read and record all Transmission DTCs.

NOTE: Check connectors - Clean/repair as necessary. Poor pin to terminal connections can set DTCs.

Using the wiring diagram/schematic as a guide, inspect the wiring and connectors. Repair as necessary.
Most DTCs set on start up but some must be set by driving the vehicle such that all diagnostic monitors have run.

NOTE: Check for any Technical Service Bulletin that may apply.

Perform this procedure prior to Symptom diagnosis.
