If Your Chevrolet Traverse is showing a P0700 fault code, it's a common issue that is often accompanied by another code. Essentially, this code indicates a problem with the transmission system. The additional code can provide more details on where to start looking for the issue. Depending on the other code(s) present, the P0700 could be something minor like low fluid levels, or it could signal a major problem such as a faulty transmission control module or a malfunctioning valve body. It might also point to issues like a defective shift solenoid or a transmission short circuit. Without more details, it's challenging, if not impossible, to pinpoint the exact problem. Consider taking your vehicle to an auto parts store for another scan to see if any other codes are being triggered.
P0700 is triggered when the computer detects a problem with the transmission control system. This issue leads to the check engine light turning on and activates a fail-safe mode. The fail-safe mode will persist until the problem is fixed or normal function is restored.
Can you tell me what the code P0700 means?
