Wire terminal #16 as indicated below with the seal pick carry's the Torque Management signal to the PCM from the Gray C1 connector of the TCM. If you look real close you will see that the terminal has backed itself out of the plug to where the wire was unable to make a connection. This triggered a DTC P1779 Torque Management code which in turn set a DTC P0700 code also. These codes will prevent proper shifting of the trans assembly.
This wire terminal is known to back out of the plug after a water pump or radiator change. Any other type of engine repair that requires moving the fan shroud or moving either the TCM or PCM out of the way can cause this code to appear.

After correcting the problem, You may have to clear the codes from memory using the Allison software or have your local GM dealer do it but some say a Snap On scanner will clear codes IF you are scanning in Generic mode.
