One of the most common problems with the Jeep Cherokee is when it throws the P0700 trouble code. A trouble code is a code thrown out by an automatic transmission whenever it detects in the Cherokee that there is an issue that needs your attention. P0700: Transmission Control System Malfunction In the case of the P0700, it is a general code.

• This video explains how to permanently fix the P0700 Transmission Malfunction error code. We explain what causes the problem, symptoms and then top 5 fixes.
• The P0700 is a transmission code that could be related in some form or fashion, or could be an entirely separate issue that coincidentally popped around the same time as the P0344. The only relation of the two being wiring I would look heavily at shooting the wires. Also it could be a bad chasis ground that might just be corroded.

Ok so after doing some research I have found that PO700 is a general transmission malfunction resulting in the subcode PO740 which is something to do with the TCC or torque converter clutch failure. Basically it puts my jeep into limp mode. Loss of power, and uneasy shifting at low gears. Eventually leading to my transmission overheating and failing all together. I have found the possible solutions to be checking the wiring under my dash for the TCC selenoid, replacing the TCC selenoid, replacing the torque converter and front pump, and worst case scenario rebuilding the transmission.
Sorry for making a new thread, figured it would be more organized this way. Basically this problem happens with alot of cars and trucks alike. Has anyone ever experienced this? Have any advice for me to save me money? I really thought that when i bought my TJ it would be reliable. First the engine timing got screwed up, ran through 2 alternators, 2 starters, and 3 catalytic coverters. Now this shit all at 60,000 miles.

Im also going to attempt to call Jeep corporation and find out if my 2005 TJ has a 70k/7 year powertrain warranty that may cover this repair. If they deny me service due to my lift and tires I may just convert back to stock.
