Where is the governor on the automatic transmission. it regulates the pressure in the trans. I have a code P1756. Governor is responsible for internal trans failure. 1997 Grand cherokee limited quattro track. know what the problem is do not know where the governor is located on the transmission

Trouble code P1756 means: Governor pressure not equal to target at 15-20 ps
Governor pressure in the trans is not correct. Fairly easy fix. Drop the trans pan and get a governor pressure solenoid from your local dealer. Bolts in pretty easy.

get your jeep to a transmission shop either the pump is going out or the governor pressure valve is bad so the solenoid pack may need to be replaced.

Hello,

I hope this helps. Mike from fixya

P1756 = Mid presure malfunction, governor, sensor, etc.. When the governor sensor malfunctions it can cause damage to the clutches. Change out the governor & solonoid. Below is a link for a good video regarding repair of this problem.

P1756 what does this mean: It is transmission related, difinition is: transmission governor pressure not equal to target...its a transmission code this is a common failure... have seen these governer pressure sensors fail often.... most codes are governer pressure sensor volts too high or low, governer pressure sensor not equal to target.. Most of the time you replace the governer pressure sensor and soleniod.. I would recommend you to fix this problem if not you will end up burning the clutches in the trans... The trans pan needs to be removed....the sensor is bolted to the valve body and is located on the pass front side of the valve body.

The governor pressure sensor is on the transmission valve body in the pan.

The governor pressure sensor is the most likley cause however an inspection of fluid or debris in trans pan would be a good idea to make sure there's nothing excessive in it. Attached is a list of possible causes however the senor would be the most common.

POSSIBLE CAUSES

• Powertrain control module
• 5 volt supply circuit open
• Check transmission fluid level and condition
• GOV press sensor signal circuit shorted to voltage
• GOV press sensor signal circuit shorted to sensor ground
• GOV press sensor signal circuit shorted to ground
• GOV pressure sensor signal circuit open
• Sensor ground circuit open
• GOV press sensor signal circuit shorted to voltage inside transmission
• 5 volt supply circuit open inside transmission
• Intermittent governor pressure solenoid
• Internal transmission problem
• Oil burnt or oil pan has excessive debris
• Other transmission DTC'S
• GOV press sensor signal circuit shorted to sensor ground inside transmission
• Valve body
• GOV press sensor signal circuit shorted to ground inside transmission
• GOV press sensor signal circuit open inside transmission
• GOV press sensor ground circuit open inside transmission
• Governor pressure sensor (high)

Could be a bad sensor, but it's transmission related. Anything affecting internal trans pressures should be taken care of by a reputable trans shop.
