How it going guys and girls,
Its been a while since I've posted. I see lots of new people, welcome.
Heres the problem, Engine light came on the other, did an error code check and came up with this:
P 0700 - This SBEC III or JTEC DTC indicates that the EATX or Aisin controller has an active fault and has illuminated the MIL via a J1850 (EATX) or SCI (Aisin) message. The specific fault must be acquired from the EATX via J1850 or from the Aisin via ISO-9141.

Anyone have any ideas? Somthing with the tranny computer?
Thanks
Brian

Can you tell me where I can find out how to find the codes and what they mean.

Sorry, I ment for an Intrepid. I know where to find for my car. My friend needs to check the codes on his Intrepid.

welcome to the 700 Club! One of your speed sensors on your tranny went south... if the speedometer is still working then it was the input sensor; if not then it's the output sensor. Each is about 25-30 USD and can be fairly easily replaced. Look at JoeKD's thread in the FAQ section about these little bastids!

oh **** me running! Yep, my electronics light came on today while driving... and low and behold the ****ing trep would jerk violently during 1st and second gear. Checked for codes, and both 1684 (batt disconnect) , and code 0700 came up. Smells like the input sensor ****. Yipppe!! I'm swinging by the dealer in the a.m.

I had the same codes and it ended up being a totally blown transmission, so don't get your hopes too high. Anyways the site that i found with fault codes was http://www.ptcruizer.com/computer-codes.html
I'm not sure if this site will help at all but there it is.

Hmmm... thats something I didn't need to hear.

UPDATE: The trep has been at the dealer for about an hour now. They are going to hook up the diagnostic thingy and troublehsoot what the problem is. I told him that since the speedo is still working that chances are it's my transmission input sensor. I also told him that the car wouldn't shift above 25-30 mph. He said that there's a good chance that is the problem. I'll be picking her up at 1:15P.M. Can't wait. Back to normal!

Had the dealer install a new input sensor. She runs like a champ now. Took them a while to look at it, because 2 Dakota's were on hold in front of me for engine problems. Other than that: I'm happy.

Well I'm glad to hear that it was only your sensor. I just got my car back and all my bad driving habits jumped right back up (speeding, squeling tires). I couldnt take it without my Intrepid for two weeks. I would have never imagined that I would love my intrepid so much when my mom brought it home from the dealer and I wanted to shoot myself.
