P0701

Transmission Control System Range/Performance

high severityDo not drive$200-$2,500

TCM signals outside expected operating range.

Common symptoms

  • Harsh shifts
  • CEL

Likely causes

  • Failing solenoid
  • Low fluid
  • Sensor issue

Where to start

  1. Try the cheapest cause first. Start by checking: failing solenoid.
  2. Cost & scope. $200-$2,500
  3. If the code returns after the fix: escalate to a shop or scanner with live-data and freeze-frame. A code that re-sets means the underlying fault is still there. Don't keep driving with this one active — risk of damage.
