Code 700 is a generic code that means a problem has occured with the transmission control module, and code 760 is for a shift solenoid failure. The shop would use a repair manual to test the circuit for the shift solenoid. If the solenoid is faulty, it would need to be replaced and the module reset.

Remove all the floor trim pieces the console, and the seats.

you can call racq or racv or your local breakdown service company

Fuse or relay bad

Tighten until snug and then 3/4 turn. Check for leaks after system is bled

Have someone pull the handle as you hit the center front of the hood with your hand. This helps to pop them up to unlatch them. Once open lube it till everything is loose again. May even raise the latch a bit. They are adjustable. If it still doesn't open, then you have to get under the bumper, with a long screw driver or pry bar and push the latch over. Look where the cable goes to the latch. You need to push it towards the cable.

Many things can cause this. O2 sensor, vacuum leaks, wiring,and more. It needs to go on a scanner to isolate the problem. It could be $3.00 worth of vacuum hose or several hundred dollars for gasket replacement.

P0170 Fuel Trim Malfunction (Bank 1) OBD-II Trouble Code Technical Description Article by Dale Toalston ASE Certified Technician Fuel Trim Malfunction (Bank 1) What does that mean? This code is one that surfaces with certain makes of automobiles more than others. In writing this article I've added Mercedes-Benz-specific info since it seems that M-B (and VW) are most prone to having this P0170 surface along with misfire codes or other fuel trim codes. P0170 means there was a malfunction in the computer's control of the air:fuel ratio. It also indicates that the fuel trims reached their limit of adding fuel while trying to compensate for a actual or perceived rich condition. When the fuel trims reach their rich correction limit, the PCM (Powertrain Control Module) sets a P0170, indicating a problem or malfunction in the fuel trims. It may also have a P0173 referring to the same malfunction but on bank two. Symptoms Symptoms of a P0170 DTC may include: MIL (Malfunction Indicator Lamp) Illumination Start and stall Poor fuel economy Black smoke at tailpipe Hesitation/misfire at idle or under load Causes Potential causes include a vacuum leak, unmetered air leaks Fuel saturated engine oil Leak in turbo air charge hoses (if equipped) Possibly bad O2 sensor (If Mercedes, may require adaptation with M-Benz compatible scan tool.) Oil contamination in MAF connector or O2 sensor connectors. Also check ignition coils, cam and crank sensors, and oil sensor for leakage contributing to oil intrusion in wiring harness. Defective MAF (Mass Air Flow) sensor (especially on Mercedez-Benz and other European autos. There are a lot of problems with aftermarket MAF sensors.) Defective fuel pressure regulator Leaking camshaft adjuster solenoids (Mercedes-Benz). NOTE: for some Mercedes-Benz models there is a service recall for a crankcase vent hose located under the intake manifold. It should be checked for leaks/cracking and also operation of check valve in the hose. The check valve should flow only one way. Possible Solutions It should be stated right off the bat that the most common problem associated with this code is the MAF sensor or air mass meter. This is especially the case with Mercedes-Benz and Volkswagen and other European cars. At time of writing, you don't normally see this code with American-made cars, and minimally with Asian, and, to be honest, I have no idea why. It appears to me that the PCM (powertrain control module) logic used by some European car manufacturers to set a P0170 (or P0173) fault code simply isn't used by American vehicle manufacturers. It is more common to see P0171, 0174, 0172, 0175 codes set with regard to fuel trim malfunctions on American cars. There is very little information on the setting conditions for a P0170, or P0173, but what information that is available almost seems to be a redundancy of the P0171,4,2 & 5 setting conditions. I'm sure there's a reason for it, but I can't get anyone to tell me what that is. The similarities between them may be why we don't see this code surface on domestic vehicles very often. It's simply unnecessary. So, simply put, if you have a P0170, your PCM noticed that the fuel trims reached their rich correction limit. Basically it's adding fuel to try to compensate for a lean condition, real or perceived. If you have this code and access to a scan tool, observe the MAF sensor reading in grams/sec. The reading will be different for different automobiles, so get a good spec. I'm going to stick with what would be normal for a Mercedes (1.8L), since they have the bulk of the trouble. Expect to see at idle 3.5-5 g/s (ideally). At 2500 RPMs with no load it should be between 9 and 12 g/s. On road test, at WOT (wide open throttle) it should be 90 g/s or well above. If it's not in specs, replace it. Be careful of Ebay MAFs. Often they don't work according to OE specifications. If the MAF checks out and there is no oil intrusion at the connector, check fuel pressure and ensure that there are no leaks at the regulator internally or externally. Check all vacuum hoses and confirm none are cracked, disconnected or missing. Make sure there are no vacuum leaks at the intake manifold gaskets or tears in the air supply hose. If the engine is turbo charged, be sure the hoses are in good condition and have no leaks. Leaking turbo pressure hoses could cause a rich condition. Inspect the condition of crankcase vent hose under intake manifold and operation of check valve in the hose. (In the "What are the causes?" section) If there doesn't appear to be any problems with the fuel pressure, MAF or vacuum hoses, then inspect the O2 sensor connectors for oil intrusion. A bad O2 sensor could cause a P0170, or P0173. Repair cause of oil leak and replace oil-fouled O2 sensor. Read more at: http://www.obd-codes.com/p0170 Copyright © OBD-Codes.com

Lauro: Many people with your car are reporting a bad fuel pump. Read this Hyundai forum and you will see: http://www.topix.com/forum/autos/hyundai/T9BD2R6MGSRTSUS7V

Hello John, It sounds to me that you could have corroded battery terminals at the battery or at the starter.

The new alternator is not producing power

Hooking up an OBD2 reader will tell you right away if the BCM is shot or BCM. Take it to advanced auto or O'Riley's they will hook up a an OBD2 reader and tell you. Sounds like a faculty PCM and BCM to me or just faulty PCM since you've replaced the Body Control Module already.

If you have a multimeter, it should be easy. Black lead on frame and red lead on "hot". If you read -12 Volts, you have a positive ground. If you read + 12Volts, you have negative ground system.

scap it

i tink you over fill the engine posible need a oil level sensor or wiring dont start the engine you need to remove all oil and 3 to 5 quarts

try to unhook the positive on your battery for couple minutes this helps to reset alot of things and most of the time the radio is one.

Dear Friend, If something like that happens to me, I will take a needle nose pliers and go around the socket opening the metal wall that holds the bulb and pull the bulb out. Make sure to bend back so it can hold the new bulb. Good Luck!

Check your power steering fluid.

run a cd disk cleaner disk thru the player. see if that will help?lol.
