P0700 trouble code, applicable to all car manufacturers, means Transmission Control System Malfunction (MIL Request). Solution: The appearance of this trouble code indicates a problem with the transmission. If there is an issue with the transmission, it is recommended to promptly visit a 4S shop for inspection and repair. Additional Information: 1. The Transmission Control Module (TCM or TCU) helps the transmission decide when and how to shift gears by collecting information from various sensors and the Engine Control Module, thereby improving vehicle performance, ensuring smooth gear shifts, and saving fuel consumption. 2. The Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL), also known as the Check Engine Light, illuminates a yellow or red engine symbol on the dashboard when the control module detects a fault. This trouble code indicates that the Powertrain Control Module (ECU) has received a request from the Transmission Control System (TCU) to illuminate the Malfunction Indicator Lamp.

How to Turn on the Air Conditioning in a Car for Cooling?

Method to turn on the car air conditioning for cooling: Start the car, turn on the fan, press the AC button, and adjust the temperature to a low setting. The refrigerant absorbs a large amount of heat from the surrounding environment, and then the low-temperature, low-pressure gaseous refrigerant is drawn back into the air conditioning compressor to start the next cooling cycle. This process repeats continuously, gradually lowering the temperature inside the car. The car air conditioning system mainly consists of a cooling system, heating system, air delivery system, and control system. To meet the needs of various car structures and uses, the composition and arrangement of the car air conditioning system may vary. Currently, most cars widely use an integrated heating and cooling air conditioning system.
