Hello. So, my car does not accelerate. I could put the pedal to the floor, and it wouldn’t go like it should. It’s a very slow build up. I drained and refilled the transmission fluid, but the problem wasn’t fixed. I had a code reader and it read P0700 and I saw online that it’s the TCM. What do you think I should do? Are there any other reasons why this would happen? It happened suddenly, like one day It was driving fine then the next morning it started the problem.

Code P0700 malfunction transmission control module. Here is the location of the module so you can check the electrical connector for corrosion and if the connector is okay, I would replace the module which I have included instructions for in the images below. Once the module has been replaced clear all codes before you drive it. Here is the labor charge for the job:

Control Module, R&R Hrs@4.6 x the shop rate.

Check out the images (below). Please let us know what happens.
