What does code p0700 mean in v70 2005 volvo? - 2002 Volvo V70

you can clear codes and such by removing the positive battery terminal for a few minutes a p0700 can be cleared by the most basic reader are you sure malfunction has been repaired and codes are not locked

That means there is an electronic fault in the transmission and the transmission control module has requested the service engine light to come on. You'll need to use a scan tool that can communicate with transmission controller in order to diagnose the issue.

obd2 is pretty simply to find what the codes mean.

the two may be related since one deals with rom.

code p0700 refers to transmission control system/MIL--malfunction===causes--wiring--TCM

Code p0700 is a transmission code and you would have gear shifting and other faults.

P0700 is a generic transmission code

P0785 is a shift solenoid malfunction in the transmission probably 3-2 downshift. Someone will have to spend some time checking the decision tree for the P0785 code.

Hi Rich Stuck,P0700 means Transmission Control System (MIL Request),P1684 means Battery Disconnected within last 50 starts.More read Diagnostic Trouble Code Table ,hope it can help you.

Symptoms of a P0700 DTC may include:
1. Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) illumination
2. The transmission may exhibit drivability problems like slipping, etc.


Causes: More often then not, the cause of this code is that there is a transmission problem of some kind. The TCM detected the problem and set a code. P0700 means that a fault code is stored in the TCM. However this doesn't rule out the possibility of a failed PCM or TCM (unlikely).

Possible Solutions: For a P0700 the only real solution is to acquire a scan tool that will communicate with the transmission control module. Extracting this code from the TCM will be the first step in repairing the fault in the transmission.If the TCM compatible scan tool will not communicate with the Transmission Control Module then that is a good indication that there may be a fault with the TCM itself.

The P0700 is not a true fault code, it just means that the powertrain control module has requested the Transmission control module to turn on the check engine light to alert you of a fault. The P0717 is the one you need diagnosed, it is the real problem,.

Start with the first code first. The P0606 code essentially means the PCM has failed - more info @ http://www.obd-codes.com/p0606
