700 code is a general trans problem 217 means your engine coolant got hot probably due to trans problems which are both shorts in system or a pcm problem. A pro should definitely look at this to see where short is. Or if a bad pcm.

Do what I said in previous reply. It is more serious than what appears to be your ability to repair it.

The check engine flickering may be due to the trans problem. As trans and engine problems make the check engine light go on. Have a trans guy scan this for a better opinion.
