Hi,
You are correct in saying a P0700 is a generic code for the transmission. This code is set by the TCM when a transmission code is present. The TCM basically signals the PCM to turn the check engine light on to indicate an issue.
What you need is a scan tool that can read codes specifically from the transmission. I would recommend scanning the can-bus.
CAN stands for controller area network. This type of scan will retrieve codes regardless of the module storing them.
Here is a link showing how it's done:

I'm not sure if the scan tool you are using is able to perform this, but at this point, I feel it needs to be done.
Let me know.
Take care,
Joe
