SOURCE: torque converter solenoid stuck off DTC
There is a solenoid switch that locks up your torque converter to get a 1:1 input for your transmission. This solenoid (or less likely its circuit) does not operate. You probably don't feel the difference in driveability but this definitely affects fuel mileage of the car... The solenoid for your particular application is available for about 60$ Canadian at NAPA auto parts here in Canada. Not too sure about USD$ and labour costs...
SOURCE: jeep codes location of unit
Got me a complete manual for 199 jeep factory model and found location of each individual unit in question. Manual gives u possible solution to each code and repair and or replace. As a mechanic myself testing, trouble shooting and repair was not that difficult. Shift solenoid was very difficult to get to. Located under the head lamp passenger side.

Your transmission should still work if the solenoid goes bad. It will just shift funny

it should take approximately 4 - 5 hours plus the cost of sensor

The test you have done will not determine which one is the cause of the problem. I have found that the solenoid is faulty 99% of the time. However more information on the vehicle could be helpful. How many miles on the vehicle? Has the transmission fluid ever been changed in the past? The solenoid may have become dirty with sediment or debris. Flushing the transmission can help with this problem. Normally if the solenoid fails the computer will set a service engine light code and store it in the computer. The code that is set may help to isolate the problem.
