P0722 FAULT CODE
P0722: Transmission speed signal missing.There is a turbine speed sensor that detects and reports the speed of the transmission shaft to the computer to help determine shift points. Sometimes this duty is shared by the VSS (vehicle speed sensor) but if your speedometer still works, then the VSS is good and you should replace the TSS (turbine speed sensor). I would guess you are either stuck in 1st gear all the time or your transmission shifts erratically.
Yesterday, on this website, I asked the following
this kind of a strange problem, you have what seam to be 3 un-related circuits that all started acting up at the same time, so i went to the wiring diagrams for the circuits to see if they share any common components, they do not. except for they all get their power supply from the same location. the central power supply box under the hood. it might be that a part of the power center has failed causing the three circuits to fail, the driver-side window switch gets it power from fuse # C15 (10amp) test that circuit for power with the key on if the fuse is good there should be power at both ends with the key on if power at only one end replace the fuse, if no power at all replace the power center.
all of the power points for these circuits are close together in the power center.
the other expert that told you to un-hook the battery was correct he or she was trying to reset the body control module which is the first step in any repair, we all wise want to make sure it is not just a soft ware problem before we send you on some wild goose chase.
check this and get back with me, i am getting ready for Church and will be gone for a few hours. but i will check back with the sight as soon as i get home.

Hello and welcome to FixYa!
As a first course of action, I strongly suggest that you remove the positive battery connector. Let it sit for at least 5mins. then reconnect it again. This will reset the system and may get your car back to it's normal operation.
Hope this helps and thank you for using FixYa! Have a good one!
While driving my 1999 c70
Assuming it is not a heat or fluid problem I expect it lies within the electronics of the tranny. When you turn the car off/on you tend to re-boot the tranny's ECU and the problem is then cleared, much like we find on a home PC (at least my home PC) I'd get it by a dealer, I believe there are codes the dealer can read for any issues.
I hope this may have assisted you,
Tom
