P0700 & P0711 codes???
The check engine light came on on my convertible. I went to AutoZone and they ran the scanner on it for me. These are the 2 codes that came up: P0700 & P0711. Is this something I have to worry about or can I just have them reset the codes and go on my way? Any help is appreciated.
TIA,
Mike

Here's what they refer to:
DTC Codes - P0700-P0899 – TransmissionAre you still under warranty? If so, drive it down to the dealer.
Do you have an auto or manual transmission? I'm assuming auto.
It might be a transient problem. I'm reluctant to advise you to do something that would really damage your transmission, but if it were me I think I'd clear the codes, check transmission fluid level, and drive it a while. I'd also try to see if all wire connections going to the transmission sensors are connected properly. If it comes back on I guess it would be time for a visit to the dealer even if you won't have warranty coverage.
Good luck!

I had same codes. Mine triggered in high heat conditions, using paddle shift and engine coolant was 220+ degrees, didnt check tranny temps, probably right up there. Cleared codes, changed tranny fluid and testing right now.
