Unfortunately there are many things that could cause the symptoms you describe. I checked and a national database of repairs for your model and year, and changing the transmission fluid and filter it's the most common solution for the problem. Based on the database, I recommend starting by checking the transmission fluid level and condition, and if possible change the fluid and filter.

hey hi
Have a 97 Jeep grand Cherokee 4.0 6 cyl. with code " PO0748 A-electrical", as per the dealer's code reader. Interpreted to mean there is a short in the circuitry and not a mechanical problem in the tranny. Traced the 3 wire cable from Governor Pressure Solenoid circuit sensor to the PCM harness. The middle wire tested continuity to ground. The other 2 wires are probably the B+ and the sensor output to the PCM. My alternator also dropped to 9-10 volts and both Field wires show grounding. Any ideas or similar problems. -
The P0748 code not necessarily means that the problem is electrical and nor mechanical. According to a national database of repairs for your model year, the most common cause of the problem is either the "Governor Pressure Solenoid Valve" or the transmission fluid and filter.
