My 2001 C-70 failed me last week while commuting to work. I had been having intermittent episodes of the "STS", "ABS", and "Check Engine" lights coming on. I was told they were somehow related & there was a part I should get to resolve. I haven't yet. The computer(?) was reset reset and no warning lights were coming on. The next evening I forgot to turn off the engine when I began fueling. I turned it off & continued to fill up the tank. No warning lights came on. The next morning, after about 2 miles, after waiting at a stop sign on an uphill road, it would not engange into gear. No warning lights came on. I finally got it to go after turning off the engine & restarting. It stayed in gear maybe 100 feet. This repeated about 4 times until it was at a safe area off the road. It wouldn't work everytime I restarted it, sometimes it took a few tries.
When hooked to the hand held diagnostic tool, it does not receive any information from the transmission. I was told I need to replace the transmission at $3,000-$4,000.
I haven't heard it, but I'm told when started, a noise can be heard from the transmission area that continues 15-30 seconds.
Does this sound familiar? Do I really need to replace the transmission?
Thank you for your help.

 

Is the fluid level low?

If another Module goes bad in the car it can make the other modules mess up as well.

 

I haven't checked it, but I am told the fluid is not low, but has darkened & has slight burnt odor. The shop does not believe in changing or filling fluid.
When a module goes bad (speed sensor was first diagnosis); would that lead to failure of Electronic Throttle Module, recently reported to be faulty?; When this happens, do the modules need to be replaced, or reprogrammed?
What are the symptoms of a bad tranny?
Thanks

 

If your fluid is "burnt"............then it is shot!!! I will repeat. If your fluid is "burnt"......then it is shot!! The first thing on the agenda is a fluid change ASAP.
