Transmission Slipping
P0700 - TRANSMISSION SLIPPING
When Monitored and Set Condition
- When Monitored: Engine RPM greater than 450 RPM, output speed greater than 180 RPM, no N2 - N3 input speed sensor errors present, no gear selector lever errors present, no ABS system errors, and all wheel speeds between 70 - 380 RPM with no wheel slip detected.
- Set Condition: Calculated ratio not within allowable range for the engaged gear. No shifting operation. The TCM constantly calculates the transmission ratio based on the N2 - N3 input speed signals and the calculated output shaft speed (CAN message from the ABS). The TCM will detect if the transmission is slipping or an invalid gear ratio is present.
Diagnostic Test
1. PRE-DIAGNOSTIC CHECK OUT
NOTE: Low fluid level can be the cause of many transmission problems. If the fluid level is low locate and repair the leak then check and adjust the fluid level.
NOTE: Always perform diagnostics with a fully charged battery to avoid false symptoms.
With the DRB III(R), read Engine DTCs. Check and repair all engine DTCs prior to performing transmission symptom diagnostics.
With the DRB III(R), read and record all Transmission DTCs.
NOTE: Check connectors - Clean/repair as necessary. Poor pin to terminal connections can set DTCs.
Using the wiring diagram/schematic as a guide, inspect the wiring and connectors. Repair as necessary.
Most DTCs set on start up but some must be set by driving the vehicle such that all diagnostic monitors have run.
NOTE: Check for any Technical Service Bulletin that may apply.
Perform this procedure prior to Symptom diagnosis.

2. OTHER DTCS PRESENT
With the ignition on.
With the DRB III(R), read Transmission DTCs.
Are any Improper Gear and/or Improper Ratio DTCs present?
Yes
- Refer to the Transmission and Drivetrain and perform the appropriate symptom.
No

3. AXLE - MECHANICAL - GEAR RATIO
Verify the correct axle gear ratio and make sure there are no mechanical problems.
Were any problems found?
Yes
- Refer to the Differential & Driveline category for proper repair procedures.
No

4. INTERNAL TRANSMISSION
Determine if the Transmission is mechanically slipping.
Is the transmission slipping?
Yes
- Repair internal transmission as necessary.
- Perform NAG1 TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST. Transmission Verification Test
No
- Replace the Transmission Control Module.
- Perform NAG1 TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST. Transmission Verification Test
