P0700 Transmission Control System Malfunction


https://www.obd-codes.com/p0500

According to http://repairpal.com/OBD-II-Code-P0500:

Vehicle Speed Sensor Malfunction
Symptoms

• Check Engine Light will illuminate
• Vehicle may not shift properly
• Speedometer may not operate correctly
• In some cases, there are no adverse conditions noticed by the driver
• In some cases, there may be performance problems and/or shifting problems.
• Other warning lights may come on such as the ABS light and Traction Control light.

Common Problems That Trigger the P0500 Code

• Defective Vehicle Speed Sensor
• Defective Speedometer
• Vehicle Speed Sensor wiring or connector
• Communication (CAN) bus problems
• Defective transmission or differential Vehicle Speed Sensor drive gear

Common Misdiagnoses

• Speedomter problem
• Internal Transmission problem
• ABS/Traction Control probelm
• Driveline problem

The P0500 code indicates a problems with the ABS system. If you have recently replaced wheel sensors, it sounds like one or more may be disconnected or flaky.

From datsc.com:
What does this mean? OBD Code P0500refers to
Basically this means that the vehicle's speed as read by the Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) is not working properly.
Symptoms Possible sumptoms of OBD code P0500
loss of anti-lock brakes the "anti-lock" or "brake" warning lamps on the dash may be lit the speedometer or odometer may not work properly (or at all) your vehicle's RPM limiter may be decreased the shifting of an automatic transmission may become erratic other symptoms may also be present
Causes Possible causes of OBD code P0500
A code P0500 may mean that one or more of the following has happened: The Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) is not reading (functioning) properly There is a broken/frayed wire leading to the vehicle speed sensor The vehicle's PCM is not correctly configured for the actual tire size on the vehicle
Possible Solutions The simplest thing to do is to reset the code and see if it comes back. Next, check all wiring and connectors that lead to the speed sensor. The location of the sensor depends on your vehicle. The sensor could be on the rear axle, transmission, or perhaps the wheel hub (brake) assembly. If the wiring and connectors are OK, then check the voltage at the speed sensor. Again, the exact procedure will depend on your make and model of vehicle. If everything looks OK, replace the sensor.

I just love Google. I hope this helps you.

P1296 No 5-Volts to MAP Sensor
P0108 MAP Sensor Voltage Too High
P0500 No Vehicle Speed Signal Circuit
P1494 Leak Detection Pump Switch or Mechanical Faul
I would try MAP sensor first.

you'll need a systems check to see which speed sensor is acting up they can be intermittant

Speed sensor malfunction (Speed Sensor A)
Remove and replace.
