• Remove the transmission fluid dipstick and check the fluid level.
• If low, add the manufacturer-recommended transmission fluid until it reaches the correct level.
• If the fluid is dark or has a burnt odor, drain the fluid using a pump and replace it with fresh fluid.

3. Inspect and Replace Transmission Filter

• Tools Required: Socket set, wrench set, new transmission filter, gasket (if applicable).
• Remove the transmission pan using a socket set, ensuring to catch any fluid.
• Inspect the filter; if clogged or damaged, replace it with a new filter.
• Clean the transmission pan and mating surface.
• Reinstall the pan with a new gasket and torque bolts to manufacturer specifications.

4. Repair or Replace Wiring and Connectors

• Tools Required: Multimeter, wire stripper/crimper.
• Inspect the wiring harness and connectors leading to the TCM.
• Use a multimeter to check for continuity and proper voltage.
• Repair any damaged wires or replace connectors as necessary.

5. Test and Replace the TCM (if necessary)

• Tools Required: OBD-II scanner, new TCM.
• If all previous checks are satisfactory, but the P0700 code persists, test the TCM for faults using an OBD-II scanner.
• If the TCM is faulty, remove it using the appropriate socket and install the new module, following manufacturer guidelines.
