P 1700 = Upshift Delay Switchover Valve ( Logic Chain ).
Sounds like a trip to the dealer coming up.

thanks for everyone's input. i just wanted to make sure the problem was the same from the last time i went to the dealership. they said it was the upshift delay valve. he said no biggie, but i need it fixed before i get a smog. supposedly this thingy keeps in gear longer when the car is still cold to help it warm up.

called the dealership and not too bad. $169 for the part and one hour of labor. so if i use up the gas from my loaner, we can call it even.

i have the same code and upshift delay switchover valve problem p1700
about to take my car to the stealership to fix control arm bushing and check out the tcu/tcm could i fix this myself or will i have to pay them?

If it is the valve at fault the repair isn't too bad. In my case it is the cable itself so the repair will be pushing $1K. Needless to say I'm not fixing it. I "trick" the computer on every startup by starting off "spiritedly" each morning so the rpms go above 3K rpm for the first shift. It helps that I have to go up a hill each day but in anycase it keeps the CE light off.

is there anyway to tell without taking it to the dealership
would i be able to see if the cable was good by looking under my car on a lift
thanks for the help
