DTC P0701

DTC P0701:  Transmission Control System Range/Performance

General Description 

The purpose of the diagnostic is to detect an unnecessary power flow in the transmission. If the ratio of input speed in the transmission to engine speed is a specified value when the shift position/mode is in P or N, the transmission control module (TCM) detects a malfunction and stores a DTC.

Monitor Execution, Sequence, Duration, DTC Type 

Execution Continuous
Sequence None
Duration 2 seconds or more*12 seconds or more**
DTC Type One drive cycle, MIL off, A/T gear position indicator blinks

*: Detection in N position/mode

**: Detection in P position/mode

Enable Conditions 

Condition  
State of the engine Running
Shift position/mode N, P

Malfunction Threshold 

The ratio of input speed [Transmission Input Speed] in the transmission to engine speed [Engine Speed] is lower than minimum value as following when the shift position/mode is in N or P. The threshold changes depending on ATF temperature [ATF Temperature].

[ ]: HDS Parameter

ATF temperature (°F (°C)) 30 (-1) 32 (0) 68 (20) 104 (40)
Ratio of input speed in the transmission to engine speed 0.2 0.2 0.35 0.5

Possible Cause 

NOTE:

The causes shown may not be a complete list of all potential problems, and it is possible that there may be other causes.

Confirmation Procedure 

Operating Condition 

Start the engine in P position/mode, and wait for at least 12 seconds.

With the HDS 

None.

Diagnosis Details 

Conditions for setting the DTC 

When a malfunction is detected, the A/T gear position indicator blinks and a Pending DTC, a Confirmed DTC, and the freeze data are stored in the TCM memory. The MIL does not come on.

Conditions for clearing the DTC 

The A/T gear position indicator comes off by turning the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode. The Pending DTC, the Confirmed DTC, and the freeze data can be cleared with the scan tool Clear command.
