Yes I have every intention of replacing the cam sensor, the query is regarding reading number 2 code PO700 re transmission control module, sorry if I appear "thick" .
Cam sensor (P0340 in engine ECU) often causes engine ECU to give invalid data to TCM (which will be a P1700 in the TCM), which causes TCM to tell engine ECU to use reduced power (P0700 in engine ECU)

Should last 100k, mine failed at around 105k I think. New GM one went on then, still good at 174k.

Luck of the draw how long they last. I suspect age is as big a factor as mileage TBH.
