    700 is a trans code. you have some sort of malfunction and need to have a shop check it for you. it goes into limp mode when it is in 1 gear.
    the 138 is an o2 code. get them both checked when you have a shop check it for you.
    no, they are not related.

    Customer Concern: MIL on and code P0700 in the Powertrain Control Module (PCM).
    Tests/Procedures: 1. This code means that there is a trouble code stored in the Transmission Control Module (TCM) and the TCM requests the MIL be turned on.

    2. Use a scan tool check for codes in the TCM.

    You will not be able to retrieve TCM codes with a generic code reader. You will have to use a full enhanced scanner. Most likely it is the trans solenoid pack. As to the P0138 do this.

    Tests/Procedures: 1. Refer to TSB 18-031-02. The TSB refers to reflashing the Powertrain Control Module (PCM).
