Common Symptoms

• Transmission fluid warning light will light up
• Flashing of the check engine light (CEL)
• Steep fall in the transmission performance

We have listed out some ways which would help you to correct the occurrence of OBD Code P070C. They are mentioned here as follows:

• Repair or replace the transmission fluid level sensor if found to be faulty. Also undertake a complete diagnosis of the related transmission and ignition parts to check for any damage
• If any of the transmission parts are damaged, then it will be definitely a good idea to replace them with a new one
• There are chances that in some cases the powertrain control module itself might be faulty or facing any reprogramming error then you will need to either repair and fix it or replace it altogether
• Also, check for the transmission fluid level, if its low then it’s definitely a good idea to refill it

If you want to easily diagnose this fault code, then all you have to do is to follow the steps which are mentioned below:

If you wish to conduct the complete diagnosis yourself, then you will need to check the transmission fluid level and also the transmission fluid level sensor and all the related wirings. In case you come across any faulty wirings or connection such as loose connectors, corroded connectors etc, then repairing them is definitely a good idea. After this, the next step would involve checking the technical service bulletin for information regarding the related issues. I case you do not find anything then you will need to conduct a step by step inspection of your transmission system. You can also refer to the manufacturer’s diagnostic flow chart in order to test the system efficiently. We strongly recommend you to inspect the relating wirings before you commence further. Also refer to the factory wiring diagrams in order to understand what wires are what. Next on our list is to check the reference voltage side of the circuit while keeping the ignition on. After this you will need to use a digital voltmeter to check the PCM reference voltage which should be somewhere between 5 to 12 volts. In order to do this, you will have to connect the negative meter lead to ground and connect the negative meter lead to ground and the positive meter lead to the sensor B+ terminal on harness side of the connector. In case you come across out of limit (OL) condition then there might be an open circuit between the PCM and the sensor that you will need to repair after locating it. There will exist continuity if the meter reads numeric value. In a situation where everything is good so far, you will need to check for the power coming out of the PCM. In order to do so you will have firstly turn on the ignition and set the meter to DC volts.

After this, connect the reference voltage terminal on the PCM to the positive meter lead and ground to the negative lead. In case you come across no reference voltage from the PCM, then in that case your PCM is at fault. But the chances of the PCM going bad is quite rare, so we recommend you to do a double check. Next, with the ignition off check the ground side of the circuit for continuity by using a digital multimeter set to ohms. To do so connect the meter between the chassis ground and transmission fluid level sensor ground terminal. There will be an open circuit between the PCM and the sensor if you happen to come across the out of limit reading. In case everything is fine then it the sensor that is faulty. Now, turn off the ignition and set your multimeter to read ohms. To conclude the diagnosis steps, remove the transmission fluid level sensor connector and connect the meter to the sensor terminals. The sensor will be open internally of the meter reads out of limits (0L), you should definitely replace it in this case.
