P0748 Variable force solenoid

You can not just replace one solenoid , this is for the variable force  solenoid, this is cause by a open or short circuit, and the problem with this code condition is it goes into 3rd gear  abruptly when you least expect it., because this is a solenoid and if left unrepaired for some time it take out the TCM (Transmission control module) , Replace the whole assembly and do not be suprised it the TCM will need to be replaced.
