Thank you all.
Re: codes - the engine warning light is also on and I got P0700 / (c6) P-2706 (MS Solenoid Circuit) / Transmission Control Module
Note: Occasionally the OD kicks out when traveling on long open roads at > 100kph and the RPM goes up 700 or so. if I stop the car, turn it off and re-start, the OD is back working again, until it kicks out. So I am curious if this is the Transmission Control Module or something more sinister?
On the in-tank fuel pump, something a local mechanic should feel confident doing as an after-market modification?
What do you think is a reasonable hour quote for the labor by a mechanic shop on the crankshaft sensor and separately the in-tank fuel pump retrofit?
Thank you again - your help is really appreciated.
Any good mechanic should be able to install an intank fuel pump and wire it up from the factory harness under the rear seat to the top of the fuel tank fuel module.
As to a crankshaft sensor, about a 30 minute job or less. Access it from the bottom of the vehicle. It is located on the right side of the engine block.
But since you are down under and it is right had drive, it may take a little longer. (never worked on a right hand drive one)
See CS picture below!
You need to find a good transmission mechanic/shop who can help diagnose the root cause of your transmission issues.
P0700 code:P0700 is a generic OBD-II code that is indicating a fault within the transmission control system. This code may be seen with shift solenoid codes or other transmission codes.
What the P0700 code meansP0700 is set when the PCM detects a malfunction in the transmission control system. This malfunction causes the vehicle to set a Check Engine Light and trigger a failsafe mode. Once the failsafe mode is set it will remain until the fault is repaired or normal operation is detected.
What causes the P0700 code?Faulty transmission control module
Transmission valve body fault
Shift solenoid issues
Open or short in the wiring harness
P2706 is a code for the multi-select solenoid pack, saying it has an open circuit.
Possible causes are:
A bad solenoid
A bad connector
A short or open in one or more wires going to the solenoid pack
Possibly bad TCM (Replace)
Here Is how to repair, but I would check all wiring first:
Remove the valve body from the transmission
NOTE: The valve body can be removed for service without having to remove the transmission assembly. The valve body can be disassembled for cleaning and inspection of the individual components including the solenoid valves.
