Im having the same problem with my 2002 passat. It's probably a sensor or something. You probably should have a diagnostic test run on it, if you can. I dont think its terribly important, because in the manual it would say DO NOT DRIVE CAR.
change the light bulb,
Trouble code P0700 means: Automatic Transmission Control System Malfunction You need to check the TCM for codes
Look in your owners manual. Instructions are listed.
It means there could be something wrong, something as simple as the gas cap is loose, to a sensor malfunction, take your car to either a dealership, or take to Auto zone they will do a diagnostic for free and give you a list of possible repairs and unless you are good with MB products, take to a mechanic or dealership and have check book ready. without knowing the codes I can't help you any further. but to say check the gas cap 1st thing
disconect your battery cable perferably the ground for 15 to 30 seconds and hook it back up it should reset your computer and cancel out your problem if it come back that means you have a problem and it is throwing code telling to go the computer to find out what is failing but only your mehcanic can do this for you. I hope this helps you, Wes
