In an American context, if your Cadillac CTS shows a P0700 code, it means there is a problem with the transmission control module. The code basically indicates a malfunction in the Transaxle Control System. This issue is commonly caused by a short circuit or open connection in the TCM, or it could be that the module itself is defective. To address this, you should first inspect the wiring harness and connectors for any visible signs of damage like bends or breakage. Also, check if there is any corrosion on the pins of the connectors. Typically, when this code appears, you will see the Check Engine Light turn on and possibly other codes from the TCM. Other symptoms that may arise include reduced gas mileage, engine stalling, and transmission shifting problems. The average cost to diagnose this code usually ranges from $75 to $100.
In the Cadillac CTS, the P0700 code is activated by the vehicle's computer when it detects a problem with the transmission control system. This issue leads to the Check Engine Light turning on and the vehicle switching to a failure mode. The failure mode will persist until the problem is fixed or the system returns to normal operation.
I'm uncertain about that.
