If you're seeing a P1009 error code in your Honda CR-V, it means there's a problem with the Variable Valve Timing control advance. This issue can stem from various factors like low engine oil, a faulty VTC oil control solenoid, or problems with the timing chain or tensioner. The code is triggered by a malfunction in the VTC actuator, which adjusts valve timing based on driving conditions. Getting this fixed could cost you around $300 to $500, covering both the labor and parts at an auto repair shop.
I resolved the p1009 code on my 2005 CR-V by adding a quart of oil.
