How Serious is the Code?
A P0970 diagnostic trouble code is very serious, because it means the ECU is not going to be able to control the amount of hydraulic pressure inside the transmission. This will lead to a number of transmission problems that include unusually harsh gear changes, slipping, transmission overheating and engine stalling.
Symptoms
Symptoms of a P0970 include:
- Transmission slips
- Unusually firm gear changes
- Transmission overheats
- Engine will stall when you slow down or come to a stop
- Engine misfire-like symptoms
- Limp mode
