Trans in limp, P0700 only. No ESP function
Hello, so this is bugging me and it will probably be cake if I had Starr tool,but I don’t so....
2000 E430 4matic 184k miles.
Drove car once after getting on road and drove fine.
I knew I needed a conductor plate for trans cause I had input speed sensor code. But drove ok.
The next day I broke the key. Had it fixed but lock smith(not dealer key, regret) and the next time I drove it it was in limp with P0700 only.
So did the usuals, new conductor plate, plug, cleaned trans fluid out of TCM connector.
Replaced TCM too.
Same problem.
I take off in 1st. Shifts to 2nd then drops to 3rd and stays there. That happens every time stop and restart the car.
Now the only thing I see that’s steering me towards ESP or ABS module is the ESP does not react when I hit button near shifter to turn it off.
If I lift all wheels in air and spin it the system kits in like I’m skidding.
So WTF?
I have not tried unplugging the other modules yet.
Of just pay MB to clear and reset everything?
Thanks.

Update
The ESP didn’t function because the button by the shifter was unplugged. LOL. So the whole system operates as designed.
But some thing I found was in the ignition switch some of the wires on the harness are cut and spliced and re-routed. So I think I’m losing some signal there and this might turn out to be just a bad key issue.
