What does error code P0711 indicate in Jeep cars?

My 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited 5.2 is showing a code P0711 for the Transmission Fluid Temperature Sensor. I tried looking it up but couldn’t find much information. Does anyone know what this means or what might be causing it? I’m worried that if the code keeps appearing, something might break or have problems soon. Thanks for any help you can offer.

Hello guys, ok like many other vehicle error codes, P0711 in Jeep models denotes a problem with the gearbox fluid temperature sensor circuit. Although the precise cause of this generic code is not specified, it is limited to the transmission temperature sensor and it is a connection to the powertrain control module PCM.
