2004 Honda Civic Hybrid P0700 Code: D Light Flashing, Transmission Won't Shift Out of First Gear

Model: 2004 Honda Civic Hybrid Fault Code: P0700 Posted: 2015-12-12 11:46

My 2004 Honda Civic Hybrid is displaying a flashing D (Drive) light and the check engine light. When I shift into gear, the vehicle moves and accelerates but fails to shift out of first gear. The onboard computer returned codes P0700 and P0722 initially. After researching forums, I suspected a faulty output speed sensor. I replaced it, but the issue persists. Currently, only code P0700 is present. What could be causing this? Any troubleshooting steps or diagnostic advice for this specific model?

P0700 is a generic transmission fault code indicating an issue within the transmission system. P0722 specifically points to a 'no signal' from the output speed sensor circuit. The term 'circuit' is critical — ensure the electrical connection and wiring are intact. Did you install a dealer-grade or aftermarket sensor?

I installed an aftermarket output speed sensor from Autozone. How can I properly test the circuit for continuity or signal?

Aftermarket from Autozone. How do I test the circuit?

Aftermarket sensors may not meet OEM specifications and can lead to unreliable readings. A basic circuit test involves checking Fuse #4 (10A) in the under-dash fuse/relay box. Do you have experience using a digital multimeter (DVOM)?

I’m not very familiar with using a DVOM, but I’ll likely purchase one once I get help from Autozone. Are there any other fuses or components I should inspect in the transmission system?
