P0700 - Transmission
Control System Malfunction.
Basically what that means is that a malfunction
has been detected in the transmission and associated components.
The good news is it might be covered under warranty. You
didn't say if your vehicle is still under warranty, be aware that you may still
have warranty coverage on this since your car is just 3 years old.
The bad news
is that the P0700 code really means that there are transmission-specific
codes that you can't access with a regular code reader. There is a part called
a TCM - transmission control module that works in a similar way to your PCM.
The TCM handles the transmission electrical "stuff" and it stores
further transmission codes.
If you want to pursue the issue yourself, you'll need to get your hands on
a higher end code reader, or take it to the dealer or a transmission shop to
get the actual transmission trouble codes read. Personally we recommend you
get a shop to read those codes for you. The other codes are communication codes,
we recommend you clear those codes after you fix the P0700 code and see if they
come back, they could be related to the "main" transmission issue.
The other good news is the fix for this may just be a software update that the
dealer can do.
Hope helps (remember comment and rated this).
