Very common problem. I would suggest replacing the governor pressure transducer and soenoid. Here's some more info


Symptom:
P1756-GOV PRESS NOT EQUAL TO TARGET @ 35 - 40 PSI (DIESEL)
When Monitored and Set Condition:
P1756-GOV PRESS NOT EQUAL TO TARGET @ 35 - 40 PSI (DIESEL)
POSSIBLE CAUSES
OTHER TRANSMISSION DTC’S
INTERMITTENT GOVERNOR PRESSURE SOLENOID
CHECK TRANS FLUID LEVEL AND CONDITION
5 VOLT SUPPLY CIRCUIT OPEN
GOV PRESSURE SENSOR SIGNAL CIRCUIT OPEN
SENSOR GROUND CIRCUIT OPEN
GOV PRESS SENSOR SIGNAL CKT SHORT TO GND
GOV PRESS SENSOR SIGNAL CKT SHORT TO SENSOR GND
GOV PRESS SENSOR SIGNAL CKT SHORT TO VOLTAGE
5 VOLT SUPPLY CIRCUIT OPEN INSIDE TRANS
GOV PRESS SENSOR GROUND CKT OPEN INSIDE TRANS
GOV PRESS SENSOR SIGNAL CKT OPEN INSIDE TRANS
GOV PRESS SENSOR SIGNAL CKT SHORT TO GND INSIDE TRANS
GOV PRESS SENSOR SIGNAL CKT SHORT TO SENSOR GND INSIDE TRANS
GOV PRESS SENSOR SIGNAL CKT SHORT TO VOLTAGE INSIDE TRANS
OIL BURNT OR OIL PAN HAS EXCESSIVE DEBRIS
