Re: Code PO1870

The most common cause of this code is a loss of pressure to the lock up as a result of the TCC valve in the valve body wearing the bore it rides in, the resultant loss of tcc engagement pressure causes the pcm to boost pressure to compensate. I'd look into this first. This can be confirmed with a full scan of the trans functions, they make a repair kit to correct the condition that does not require an overhaul.
