Hello ALL!! 2006 Chrysler Sebring Sedan..Throwing P0700 Code..
 

Hello to all in Chrysler Forum,

My name is Kevin and I am glad to be a part of this group and thank you all for any and all assistance ahead of time!
I am mainly an F-Body guy but recently bought this Chrysler as a daily driver for work and not familiar with them so looking for some help.

I just bought a week ago with no known issues except for the back windows not currently working.
The vehicle has around 77k.

The other day on the way to work the check engine light came on and the scanner showed code PO700 (no other codes appeared along with it).
I have done some searching through the forum already as I hate asking something that has already been solved before but did not find anything definitive.

I currently am not seeing and/or feeling any change in driving conditions as of yet, except for one thing - it now takes two turns of the key to get the car running instead of the initial one.

This just started and I am wondering if it may be showing this code, not because of the transmission, TCM, or similar, but maybe the battery?

Thanks ahead of time for all any and all assistance again!

Update** Went and got battery checked and was 100%. With that said it rules that out as the problem. Also, the Code disappeared after removing the battery and has not popped back up as of yet after driving to work today. The car does, however, have to be turned over multiple times now to get started and seems to be getting worse...maybe starter??

P0700 simply means that the trans controller has a code in it. Trans controller codes need to be checked with a code reader as they will not show up with the "key dance"
Codes will reset when the battery is disconnected and will return once the failure criteria is met. Sometimes it takes a few trips to set a code.
