96 grand cherokee hard shift problem

I have a 96 grand cherokee, 4.0L, Quadra Trac Full Time 4WD, Auto Tranny.

I just purchased it last week as a private sale. The tranny has a hard time shifting from 2nd to 3rd when it's cold. After it warms up a bit it will shift fine. I checked for codes and found one in the pending codes section. It was P0701, which says Transmission Control System Range/Performance.

Does anyone know what this code means? I am thinking it has something to do with the hard shifting, but can't find any info on it.

Thanks
Vic

I don't think it will fix the code, but I'd go ahead and change the transmission fluid.

I took your advice and tried the fluid & filter change. It was no help. I messed a little with the TV cable and got a completely different response from the tranny.

How do I adjust the TV cable correctly? I have read a few posts on here and other forums, and get different answers.
