Possible CVT Issue P0961

[Brooklyn_Freestyle]

My '06 FS had been running a little funny. It felt like a rear differential issue. Recently the check engine came on and I pulled a code P0961. From the forum it looks like this code usually comes with a handful of others. Pressure control solenoid A is what the designation seems to be.
I'm wondering if anyone has had experience with this? My mechanic seems to think that it isn't a differential issue but rather related to the CVT. Is it possible that replacing the solenoid could fix the issue? I'm also overdue for a CVT fluid drain and fill.
Thanks for any support.

Looks like this viewtopic.php?t=6015 is the route I'm taking. Hopefully the new DEM works out and fixes the issues. I'll post how it works out.

I am not a mechanic, but it seems to me that you have chosen the wrong way. I would try to replace the solenoid A (or clean), check the seals, replace cvt filters

Ended up replacing the DEM and that took care of the codes. For now it doesn't seem that it was CVT related (this time).
HOWEVER, i'm still getting the sensation that I'm going over mini speed bumps when turning and accelerating at slow speeds or going up hill. I don't want to spend any more time/money right now figuring this out. Maybe it's a traction control issue, it does seem to be amplified when the roads are slick.
