What are the different codes for transmission problems?

Most Common Global Trouble Codes for Transmission Problems P0218: Transmission Over Temperature P0613: Transmission Control Module (TCM) P0614: ECM/TCM Incompatible P0700: Transmission Control System Malfunction P0706: Transmission Range Sensor Circuit Range/Performance P0715: Input/Turbine Speed Sensor Circuit Malfunction

What does it mean when your transmission is throwing codes?

Codes indicating transmission problems fall under the category of Powertrain or “P” codes. If your vehicle is throwing codes and the first three digits are P06, P07, or P09, it almost certainly indicates a tranny or gearbox problem.

What does the global transmission code mean on a car?

Global codes have a “0” as the second character and are common to all vehicles. Manufacturer Specific codes are characterized by a “1” as the second character and are used for certain makes and models. For example, codes between P1700 and P1999 are Ford powertrain fault codes and P1700 to P1899 are for General Motors.

Where does the RPO code start on a GM transmission?

GM Transmission RPO Codes start with the letter M. Auto or Manual? If you see any errors, or would like to add an RPO code, just leave it in the comments and I’ll throw it on.

What is the code for a transmission failure?

These codes all relate to shift solenoid failure. Your TCM tells your transmission how and when to shift by opening one of these solenoids to allow transmission fluid to pass into the transmission’s hydraulic control section for the specific gear.

Where can I find the transmission range code?

With most vehicles, the TCM is the only computer that can turn on the check engine light. If there’s a problem preventing the light from coming on, you’ll see this code. The transmission range sensor tells the TCM the position of the gear lever.

Why do I keep getting the same transmission code?

The output speed sensor may need to be replaced. These codes all report problems with the gear ratio. The only difference in these transmission trouble codes is the gear that’s being identified. They’re all reporting the same error, but they’re reporting it for different gears.

What does the transmission control module code mean?

You don’t have to worry much about this code – it’s just telling you that there’s an internal error in the transmission control module (TCM). It’s a programming issue. You can take your car to the dealer and have the TCM replaced. This is another purely informational code, telling you that the ECM and the TCM aren’t on speaking terms.

How to find the transmission code on a VW?

Use the VW Transmission charts below to help you find your Transmission Code. You will need click on the 020, 02A, 02J, 02M, 02T to go directly to the parts department for that style Transmission.

Why do I get a p0700 code on my TCM?

The most likely reason the code appears is that the TCM detects a problem in the transmission. The P0700 code indicates a problem with the transmission. It should not be ignored, because there can be serious drivability problems now and in the future. The technician should check for all codes present to accurately diagnose the problem.

What does it mean when your transmission is not working?

Your automatic transmission uses input and output speed sensors to determine whether your transmission is in the gear that the transmission control module (TCM) wants it to be in. If you see this code, it means that the TCM isn’t correctly calculating the shift pattern.

What does it mean when your transmission is slipping?

This code is specific to vehicles with an automatic transmission. This code is generated when the PCM does not receive an adequate signal from the output speed sensor circuit or if there is an abnormal RPM difference between the input RPM sensor and the output speed RPM sensor. It usually indicates that the transmission is slipping.

What does the code on the transmission range sensor mean?

If there’s a problem preventing the light from coming on, you’ll see this code. The transmission range sensor tells the TCM the position of the gear lever. It also contains a neutral safety switch, which ensures that you can only start your car in neutral or park.

What’s the No Code on an Eaton transmission?

If no faults are active, the service light will flash code 25 (no codes). Two digit fault codes will be displayed in the gear display. Some vehicle may be equipped with a service light.
