Diagnostic Test Code (DTC) P0700 is an informational code that is stored in the Engine Control Module (ECM) That informs the diagnostic technician that there are codes present in the Transmission Control Module (TCM) and that the TCM has requested the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) (AKA - Check Engine Light) to be turned on. This is because the MIL is controlled by the ECM and cannot be turned on directly by the TCM. So, the TCM requests the ECM to turn the light on. To find out the nature of the failure that caused the P0700, one must scan the TCM to retrieve the fault codes stored there. Please note that MOST generic OBD code readers cannot access the TCM - this is the reason for the P0700 code to set in the ECM (to alert somebody with a generic code reader that further diagnosis is needed for the TCM).

Hi I B M,

I take it we've gone beyond finessing it? Sorry.

The contacts on the second most used switch in the vehicle do wear out. Unfortunately the door panel has to be removed to access the switch array.

• Remove the door panel
• Remove the switch array
• Find a local U-Pull-It type wrecking yard. Bring your switch with you
• Explore the jeep section. Find a switch with the same socket pattern as yours and buy it for $5.00 (which beats the heck out of $35.00 at the dealership)
• You can even see if it works in the parking lot
• Put your door back together and close your window

BTW, My '86 Cherokee did the same thing. You won't have any problems

Best regards
Mike

I need to know exactly what they intend to do on the engine, you are just to vague.

posted here 100 time. http://www.jeep4x4center.com/knowledge-base/index.htm?utm_source=cj#service WJ. all cars have spare conn,. and fuses. for options not opted. they do not make a harness for all 100 permutations of options that would be crazy. no its not SAFE pull the neg, lug on battery before any PDC work. or take the risk of eating acid or far worse. "BOOM" if you work on a car, the FSM is the bet book. its all there, just read it.

It is a bad blower motor resistor and it is mounted on the bottom of the A/C heater housing on the passenger side of the vehicle under the glovebox area. Hope this helps. Please rate this a fixya if it helps. Thanks.

why not scan it the CEL glow to say, please scan me, i have errors. in 2000 year cars, the PCM reports all TCM errors. they are unified. so scan it, what is the delay there, ???? do , get it, or at the least autozoned scans (kiddy scan) get the real DTCs dont let the kid blabber, "that bla bla is bad" if he knew what was bad, he'd not be a clerk.

operators guide. lost, ask jeep for this guide, get one.... here is the full fsm. DL this and burn to CD or mem.stick. bingo, ready to rumble any time any place. http://www.xjjeeps.com/pdf/2000_service_manual.pdf

which engine, its an A/T tranny right? my jeep is a stick, both.. fails hot and cold engine, (bingo huh?) never go backwards again. pretend its an old harely... lol are all other things perfect? drives perfect, lights work. all? check fuses first. clean ISC, valve. clean EGR valve. give it a tune up, if yo skip those.... do you, every 60k?miles?

Julie, Its easier to add an analog gauge and wiring than to chase around for the factory built-in. It will be more reliable and you will be more relaxed in which direction to seek a resolution on the issue, maybe the battery, alternator, Primary Comp Module voltage regulator, is going weak. Viewing the U-tubes will give better understanding.

double posted, back up one.

FSM. its all there. or try alldata.com if doing DIY and are serious. get serious books, or get alldata. or at mitchels, both have DIY page. most cars its in the fuse box.

no question posted. the above is statement. 1: how to test test it or diagnosis it. how to replace. how to buy it. how to torque it/ what tools.? see>, a real question. works best.

have fuel pressure tested

you have to decide that the hood could get warped or blow up over the windshild

check all your ground wires and look make sure no wires are pinched between head and block also check the distribitor for wear wobbling around in side of it

check make sure all hose clamps tight could have leaking thermostat O- RING or gasket.check make sure water pump gasket not leaking.
