Stuck in second gear.

I recently had an alternator fail, it just quit charging. I had to have it charged up twice just to get home. Now I've replaced the alternator and charging great but, now I have DTC's P0700 and P0750 and stuck in second gear, no 1st, 3rd or 4th. What do I look for? I've cleared all codes to no avail. Now what?

I don't have a direct answer fix to your code problem, BUT........

When the battery totally died the 2x you had to charge i up to get home, did it "die" while at speed? It could have damaged the trans and thus the codes and stuck in 2nd gear. I would start by checking trans oil level and COLOR with the dipstick the 4 bangers should have for the trans. and if low or "burnt color/smell, drop the trans pan and look for debris. This situation does not sound like an electrical problem for the trans, but a problem of the trans brought on by loss of engine running which is the supply of rotation for the torque converter and oil pump of the automatic trans.

Most ALL auto trans cars say NOT to tow/coast at more than 30mph and for ONLY SHORT DISTANCES. If you "coasted down to a stop with it still in gear, well I would fear for trans damage for you in that situation.

GOOD LUCK and keep us posted, AND I hope my thoughts are not the case for you.

Last time I replaced my alternator I had codes as well (can't remember exactly which ones) and used my obd scanner to reset them.No problems since.

I reset codes twice, no results. I talked to a local shop and being I need to replace the rear motor mount he suggested checking my grounds especially where the electrical plugs into the valve body on the transmission. My task for tomorrow.
