Dtc po500 a-541e transaxle

Did you have it checked for code's ?
P0720 OSS Insufficient input from OSS sensor. PCM detected a loss of OSS signal during operation. Harsh shifts, and abnormal shift schedule. (MIL on) Will display Check Transmission message. Go To Pinpoint Test G . P0721 OSS Output shaft speed sensor signal noisy. PCM has detected an erratic OSS signal. Harsh shifts, and abnormal shift schedule. Go To Pinpoint Test G . P0722 OSS Output shaft speed sensor signal intermittent. PCM has detected an erratic or no OSS signal. Will display Check Transmission message. Go To Pinpoint Test G . Hooking up a scan tool an checking DTC'S an viewing sensor input data to the computer is the correct way to diagnose , not guess OSS , an just replace parts . Your best bet , take it to a qualified repair shop.
SECTION 307-01: Automatic Transaxle/Transmission - 4F50N 2004 Taurus/Sable Workshop Manual DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING Procedure revision date: 07/02/2003 Transaxle Drive Cycle Test NOTE: Always drive the vehicle in a safe manner according to driving conditions and obey all traffic laws.
After carrying out the Quick Test, use the following Transaxle Drive Cycle Test for checking continuous codes:
NOTE: The Transaxle Drive Cycle Test must be followed exactly. Malfunctions must occur 4 times consecutively for shift error DTC code to be set, and five times consecutively for continuous torque converter clutch code to set.
NOTE: When carrying out the Transaxle Drive Cycle Test, see the solenoid operation chart for correct solenoid operation. Refer to Pinpoint Tests - Non OSC Equipped Vehicles in this section.

1. Record and then erase Quick Test codes.

1. Warm engine to normal operating temperature.

1. Make sure transmission fluid level is correct.

1. With transaxle in OVERDRIVE, moderately accelerate from stop to 80 km/h (50 mph). This allows the transaxle to shift into 4th gear. Hold speed and throttle opening steady for minimum of 15 seconds.

1. With transaxle in 4th gear and maintaining steady speed and throttle opening, lightly apply and release brake (to operate stoplamps). Then hold speed and throttle steady for additional 5 seconds minimum.

1. Brake to a stop and remain stopped for minimum of 20 seconds.

1. Repeat Steps 4 through 6 at least 5 times.

1. Carry out Quick Test and record continuous codes.

• If DTCs are present, refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Charts in this section. Service all non-transaxle DTCs first as they can directly affect the operation of the transaxle. Repeat the Quick Test and Road Test to verify the correction. Erase DTCs, carry out drive cycle, and repeat the Quick Test after completing service on the DTCs.
• If the continuous test passes (system pass) and a concern is still present, refer to Diagnosis By Symptom in this section check OASIS, and TSBs for diagnostic concern.

After On-Board Diagnostics
NOTE: The vehicle wiring harness, powertrain control module and non-transaxle sensors may affect transaxle operations. Service these concerns first.
After the On-Board Diagnostic procedures are completed, service all DTCs.
Begin with non-transaxle related DTCs, then service any transaxle related DTCs. Refer to the Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Charts for information on Condition and Symptoms. This chart will be helpful in referring to the correct manual(s) and to aid in diagnosing internal transaxle concerns and external non-transaxle inputs. The pinpoint tests are used in diagnosing electrical concerns of the transaxle. Make sure that the vehicle wiring harness and the powertrain control module are diagnosed as well. Refer to the Powertrain Control/Emissions Diagnosis (PC/ED) manual for diagnosing non-transaxle electronic components. The diagnostic routine hydraulic/mechanical charts will help in diagnosing internal transaxle concerns and external non-transaxle inputs.
Before Pinpoint Tests
NOTE: Prior to entering pinpoint tests, check the powertrain control module (PCM) wiring harness for correct connections, bent or broken pins, corrosion, loose wires, correct routing, correct seals and their condition. Check the PCM, sensors and actuators for damage. Refer to the Powertrain Control/Emissions Diagnosis (PC/ED) manual.
NOTE: If a concern still exists after electrical diagnosis has been carried out, refer to Diagnosis By Symptom in this section.
If DTCs appear while carrying out the on-board diagnostics, refer to the Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Charts in this section for the appropriate repair procedure. Prior to entering pinpoint tests, refer to any TSBs and OASIS messages for transaxle concerns.

What are you talking about auto shift control solenoid ? Which transmission does yours have ?
Automatic Transaxle - 3T40 Automatic Transaxle - 4T40-E
1-2 Shift Solenoid Valve
In transmission valve body
Transmission Component Location
Automatic Transmission Internal Connector End Views
2-3 Shift Solenoid Valve
In transmission valve body
Is there a DTC - diagnostic trouble code stored ? Which gear or gears are not working ?

Hi there:
The DTC P0700 is a Information Code The Transaxle Control Module (TCM) that monitors the malfunction of sensors and actuators relating to transaxle control. If any malfunction is detected, the TCM informs the PCM by sending a signal (P0700 code). P0700 means that a code has been set in the TCM.
This code is for information ONLY. If this code is present, check for transaxle codes. So basically, the P0700 code is telling you to check the TCM for a transaxle DTC. The TCM can not turn on the check engine light so it has the PCM do it, which can only be done with a diagnostic scanner. The self retreival method for chryslers with the ignition key will not pull up the specific transmission fault codes in the TCM.


Hope this helps.

Both codes (obviously) point to transmission related problems.

DTC P0700 - Transaxle Control System Fault Conditions
The P0700 code is for information only and the next step is to check for transaxle codes in the Transaxle Control Module (TCM). So you'll have to have the dealer or another qualified shop/technician pull the transaxle codes from the TCM and go from there.

DTC P2706 - Shift Solenoid "F"
First check your wiring before you get inside and open the ****** up. Could be loose wiring, if not do the operation and make sure you do a heat test with the solenoid before you replace it.

Hope this helps and just keep in mind that your feedback is important and I'll appreciate your time and consideration if you leave some testimonial comment about this answer.

Thank you for using FixYa.

Unfortunately a P2716 code is a code for the pressure control solenoid inside the automatic transaxle, my suggestion to you is to take it to your local Toyota dealer where they will be able to monitor the shift solenoids within the transaxle.

Hope this helps....

DTC P2716 PRESSURE CONTROL SOLENOID "D" ELECTRICAL

(DTC) CODE # P0700....Transmission Control System (MIL Request) Translation: Transmission Control Module (TCM) Malfunction or Failure.

I hope this helps....let me know if I can assist further !!

Because it is not starting, you should replace the Crankshaft sensor (above the oil filter, back of the engine)-it will cause a P0700-I have a 99 SL2, 178,000 miles

The dealer probably saw the code P0700 and went to the TCM and pulled out the code stored there telling them the Transmission Solenoid Assembly (TSA) is bad. This is a good example of understanding what the codes actually mean. If the manual you looked at said the TCM is bad and to replace the TCM when you see a P0700, then it is wrong.

Both codes (obviously) point to transmission related problems.
