Neutral Safety Switch.
Year, engine, trans, stock or modded etc.
Go to your local parts store and have them check your codes for free.
If I had to guess it'd be shift solenoid. But guessing's not good enough. What codes does it have besides P0700?
Common problem.I just had a similiar problem. My scangaugeII was showing a P0122. Throttle Position Sensor.
... NSS won't cause a check engine light, so far as I know. Unless it's sending the signals for third gear instead of OD/Drive to the TCU, it won't cause the symptoms described.
Which fuse would it be ?

Looks like fuse 10 to me.

If disabling the TCU (via the fuse) results in OD working (you'll have to shift "manually"), I'd definitely bet on TPS.
OK: Here is the Skinny so far.
Fluid is good and Full.
Fuses are all good
Checked the Codes:
700 Trans control Malfunction
705 Trans control Malfunction
1694 Malfunction, does not state what
1698 Malfunction, does not state what
Clear the Codes and Trans works perfect for a couple of minutes, then CEL comes back on and Trans gets 1st.& 2nd. just fine but jumps
in and out of 3rd. mostly out, and has no Overdrive.
So what Say You ?
Where do I go from here ?
