Hello and thank you for choosing JustAnswer. Sorry to hear you are having this problem with the HHR My name is \*\*\*\*\* \*\*\*\*\* I will do all I can to assist with this issue. You may receive an Automated prompt for a phone call. This offer comes from the website, not from me. Continuing with the Chat is my Preferred method. **(I have attached a document(s) to this thread. Please let me know if it does not show up on your end or if you have any problems opening the file. Note: Attachments may not show up if you are using a mobile device, go to your last e-mail from JustAnswer and you will see the attachment.) Note: Document links will automatically delete after 7 days.** Your 2006 HHR has an Engine Control Module (ECM) that controls the engine functions and a Transmission Control Module (TCM) that controls the functions of the Transmission. P0700 is a generic code stored in the ECM that indicates there is a fault and diagnostic code(s) stored in the TCM. To get an understanding of the problem with the HHR, a scanner capable of communicating with the TCM will be required. While a scanner that can retrieve codes stored in the ECM is inexpensive, it requires a much more advanced scanner to retrieve codes stored in the Transmission Control Module. Unfortunately, the cost of this type scanner puts it out of reach for most unless you are a shop specializing in GM repairs. Here is some additional information on P0700 [https://www.dropbox.com/s/qjrj3dpppll969i/P0700.pdf?dl=0](https://www.dropbox.com/s/qjrj3dpppll969i/P0700.pdf?dl=0) [https://www.dropbox.com/s/sug791fqm4e9uae/TCM.pdf?dl=0](https://www.dropbox.com/s/sug791fqm4e9uae/TCM.pdf?dl=0) If you are able to obtain the code(s) in the TCM I can offer specific advice as to the nature of the problem, but without the codes the list of possibilities is to lengthy to even offer a guess. I hope this helps. Please let me know if you have any questions. Note: If I don’t immediately respond, I kindly ask for your patience, I will reply as soon as possible.
