The cost to diagnose the P0970 Honda code is 1.0 hour of labor. The diagnosis time and labor rates at auto repair shops vary depending on the location, make and model of the vehicle, and even the engine type. Most auto repair shops charge between $75 and $150 per hour.
The Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) clutch pressure control solenoid valve controls and optimizes clutch pressure (hydraulic pressure) for various driving conditions. The CVT clutch pressure control solenoid valve is controlled by duty cycle output. The spool in the CVT clutch pressure control solenoid valve moves the valve according to the current and produces hydraulic pressure in proportion to the current. The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) measures the current that passes through the CVT clutch pressure control solenoid valve and uses feedback control to compensate for the difference between the measured current and the commanded one. If the measured current is not equal to the duty cycle command, the PCM detects a malfunction (open, short to ground) and stores a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC).
