All of the p0700 codes refer to solenoids,speed sensors and tcm problems in the transmission all of which will energize the limp mode
code p0052 refers to heated oxygeb sensor(HO2S) 1 bank2 heater control---circuit high===causes--wiring short to positive--HO2S--ECm replace the ho2s sensor and check for wiring connection problems on the transmission.

    Going to get the 02 sensor and put in Tuesday. Checked all wiring to transmission no frays or lose wiring. Transmission fluid is full and looks new. Previous owner had a rebuilt tranny put in just at 6000 miles before the engine went out. The 0720 is that a sensor that needs replaced possibly?

  • Stacey May 25, 2015

    There was a ground wire with a circle connector hanging under the passenger side. Not sure if that might be an issue? I'm going to trace it down tomorrow the wire inside it is gone it's just the outside shell remaining.

  • Bill Boyd May 25, 2015

    p 0720 is the output speed sensor--circuit malfunction===causes --wiring--oss sensor---ecm/tcm as the ecm is not a regular occurrence , i would suspect the tcm if replacing the the oss didn't fix the fault.

  • Stacey May 27, 2015

    I had a guy unplug two sensors on the tranny. It shifts fine until u come to a stop then u have to turn it off a minute and restart it. Would u know what these sensors are called he said a input and output sensor but advanced auto is saying there isn't any output sensor on this truck except the one on the rear end?

  • Bill Boyd May 27, 2015

    For an ecm and TCM to know when to do something, like engage or start a change or change gears, it has to determine the engine half of the torque converter
    input relay )May work of the tacho ) the output speed sensor Reads the other half ( driven half) so that a difference of the two speeds is reported to the tcm or ecm to facilitate a shift up or down
    the 3rd sensor or VSS relates the information to the TCM and the ecm so that it knows to shift up or down and to increase the engine rpms or lower them
    I'm thinking that the sensors you had disconnected may be the torque converter sensors and when you come to a stop, the tcm or the ecm is not getting a signal from a sensor so that it can proceed through the program
    as an example if you disconnect the monitor of a pc then the start up program comes to a point in the program where it says monitor connected yes or no--if yes proceed to next line ,if no stop the program , place a message --no monitor and wait for human input ( connect monitor)
    IN the transmission the program line would read out shaft rpms yes--engage torque converter clutch solenoid / servvo or --no --don't move until engine is started or something like that
    I would seek advice from accredited transmission shops that have plenty of experience on your type of transmission and not from general mechanics and the like.

    Could the 0720 be a output speed sensor that needs replaced? Could the other codes be secondary codes to that sensor being bad?

SOURCE: 2004 Dodge SX 2.0 Base 4Cyl2.0L - the following

Check your transmission output shaft speed sensor. First check that the connector is clean, free of corrosion, secured firmly and that wires have good insulation. If all looks well at this point then disconnect the speed sensor, remove it and clean its tip of any debris and see if this clears the DTC. If not change the sensor for a new one (less than $30). This should fix it.

2004 Chrysler 300M showing P0700, P0731 & P0732. Will replacing the solenoid potentially solve this issue? Car only has 25k miles....

1st off the P0700 is just the TCM telling the PCM to turn on the check engine light due to a transmission problem. Read about the P0731 and P0732 at the provided links. https://www.autocodes.com/p0731_chrysler.html

99 Plymouth voyager and these codes came up p0731, p0732, p0736, p0700 what can i do about it

Probably not much you can do yourself.
Code 700 is a general fault code for the transmission or control module. Code 731 is for incorrect ratio for first gear, 732 is for 2nd gear, and 736 is for reverse. The actual problem could be mechanical or electrical, including the transmission control module.
You would need a shop manual and the necessary tools to check the circuits and solenoids inside the transmission.

Code P0736, P0731, P0720, P0700

Well code 700 is a generic code that means there is a problem with the transmission or the control module.
Code 736 is an incorrect gear ratio for reverse, code 731 is incorrect ratio in first gear, and 720 is the code for the speed sensor which involves the engine computer as well as the speedo.
Its possible the speed sensor is causing the other codes.
I would have a shop check the speed sensor circuit, clear the codes, and see how many come back then proceed with more testing as needed.

2006 sebring touring Error codes

I would start with the fluid level and condition. 731 & 732 are improper gear ratio for first and second gear. 720 is faulty output speed sensor, which makes sense with improper gear ratios.

2005 Chrysler Sebring with error codes p0700,p0720,p0731

2006 Sebring Convertible - Transmission Codes - P0700, P0720, & P0731....
2006 Sebring Convertible, started while driving around town - transmission did not want to shift and CEL came on. Stopped, checked transmission fluid and looked for anything obvious. All fluids good, nothing obvious. About 5 miles from home, drove back roughly 15-20 mph. Only other issue that had came to mind was the alternator had been making a whining noise for some time, probably 3 months or so - had mentioned to wife that we should replace it before it completely failed. Found one reference on the internet that the alternator could cause weird electrical conditions / interference if bad - leaking voltage back through ground. Thinking the alternator likely needed replacing anyway, I replaced it and cleared codes - all issues were solved - no more alternator whining and all transmission issues resolved. Replaced alternator on Sept 9, 2019 today is Sept 12, 2021 and still going - I think its safe to say the alternator was the culprit in this instance.
