6	• Low maximum speed and poor acceleration	• Vehicle acceleration is poor at start. • Delayed acceleration when accelerator pedal is depressed while driving.	(See NO.6 LOW MAXIMUM SPEED AND POOR ACCELERATION [SJ6A-EL].)
7	• No shifting	• Single shift range only. • Sometimes shifts correctly.	(See NO.7 NO SHIFTING [SJ6A-EL].)
8	• Does not shift to 6GR	• Vehicle does not upshift from 5GR to 6GR even though vehicle speed increased. • Vehicle does not shift to 6GR even though accelerator pedal is released in D range at 80 km/h {50 mph}.	(See NO.8 DOES NOT SHIFT TO 6GR [SJ6A-EL].)
9	• Abnormal shifting	• Shifts incorrectly (incorrect shift pattern).	(See NO.9 ABNORMAL SHIFTING [SJ6A-EL].)
10	• Frequent shifting	• Downshifting occurs suddenly even when accelerator pedal is depressed slightly in D range.	(See NO.10 FREQUENT SHIFTING [SJ6A-EL].)
11	• Shift point is high or low	• Shift point considerably different from automatic shift diagram. • Shift delays when accelerating. • Shift occurs suddenly when accelerating and engine speed does not increase.	(See NO.11 SHIFT POINT IS HIGH OR LOW [SJ6A-EL].)
12	• Torque converter clutch (TCC) non-operation	• TCC does not operate when vehicle reaches TCC operation range.	(See NO.12 TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH (TCC) NON-OPERATION [SJ6A-EL].)
13	• No kickdown	• Does not downshift when accelerator pedal is fully depressed within kickdown range.	(See NO.13 NO KICKDOWN [SJ6A-EL].)
14	• Engine flares up or slips when upshifting or downshifting	• When accelerator pedal is depressed, engine speed increases normally but vehicle speed increases slowly. • When accelerator pedal is depressed while driving, engine speed increases but vehicle speed does not increase.	(See NO.14 ENGINE FLARES UP OR SLIPS WHEN UPSHIFTING OR DOWNSHIFTING [SJ6A-EL].)
15	• Engine flares up or slips when accelerating vehicle	• Engine flares up when accelerator pedal is depressed for upshifting. • Engine flares up suddenly when accelerator pedal is depressed for downshifting.	(See NO.15 ENGINE FLARES UP OR SLIPS WHEN ACCELERATING VEHICLE [SJ6A-EL].)
16	• Judder upon torque converter clutch (TCC) operation	• Vehicle jolts when TCC is engaged.	(See NO.16 JUDDER UPON TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH (TCC) OPERATION [SJ6A-EL].)
17	• Excessive shift shock from N to D or N to R position/range	• Strong shock is felt when shifting from N to D or N to R position/range at idle.	(See NO.17 EXCESSIVE SHIFT SHOCK FROM N TO D OR N TO R POSITION/RANGE [SJ6A-EL].)
18	• Excessive shift shock is given when upshifting and downshifting	• Excessive shift shock is felt when depressing accelerator pedal to accelerate at upshifting. • During cruising, excessive shift shock is felt when depressing accelerator pedal at downshifting.	(See NO.18 EXCESSIVE SHIFT SHOCK IS GIVEN WHEN UPSHIFTING AND DOWNSHIFTING [SJ6A-EL].)
19	• Excessive shift shock on torque converter clutch (TCC)	• Strong shock is felt when TCC is engaged.	(See NO.19 EXCESSIVE SHIFT SHOCK ON TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH (TCC) [SJ6A-EL].)
20	• Noise occurs at idle when vehicle is stopped in all positions/ranges	• Transmission is noisy in all positions and ranges when vehicle is idling.	(See NO.20 NOISE OCCURS AT IDLE WHEN VEHICLE IS STOPPED IN ALL POSITIONS/RANGES [SJ6A-EL].)
21	• Noise occurs at idle when vehicle is stopped in D range, or in R position	• Transmission is noisy in driving ranges when vehicle is idling.	(See NO.21 NOISE OCCURS AT IDLE WHEN VEHICLE IS STOPPED IN D RANGE, OR IN R POSITION [SJ6A-EL].)
22	• No engine braking	• Engine speed drops to idle but vehicle coasts when accelerator pedal is released during cruising at medium to high speeds. • Engine speed drops to idle but vehicle coasts when accelerator pedal is released when in M range (1GR) at low vehicle speed.	(See NO.22 NO ENGINE BRAKING [SJ6A-EL].)
23	• Transmission overheats	• Burnt smell emitted from the transmission. • Smoke is emitted from the transmission.	(See NO.23 TRANSMISSION OVERHEATS [SJ6A-EL].)
24	• Engine stalls when shifted to D range, or in R position	• Engine stalls when shifting from N or P position to D range or R position at idle.	(See NO.24 ENGINE STALLS WHEN SHIFTED TO D RANGE, OR IN R POSITION [SJ6A-EL].)
25	• Engine stalls when driving at slow speeds or stopping	• Engine stalls when brake pedal is depressed while driving at low speed or stopping.	(See NO.25 ENGINE STALLS WHEN DRIVING AT SLOW SPEED OR STOPPING [SJ6A-EL].)
26	• Starter does not work	• Starter does not work even when P or N position is selected.	(See NO.26 STARTER DOES NOT WORK [SJ6A-EL].)
27	• Gear position indicator light does not illuminate in M range	• Gear position indicator light in instrument cluster does not illuminate in M range with ignition switch at ON.	(See NO.27 GEAR POSITION INDICATOR LIGHT DOES NOT ILLUMINATE IN M RANGE [SJ6A-EL].)
28	• Gear position indicator light illuminates in D range or P, N, R positions	• Gear position indicator light in instrument cluster illuminates in D range or P, N R positions with ignition switch at ON.	(See NO.28 GEAR POSITION INDICATOR LIGHT ILLUMINATES IN D RANGE OR P, N, R POSITIONS [SJ6A-EL].)
29	• Does not upshift in M range	• Gear position indicator light in instrument cluster illuminates but vehicle does not upshift when selector lever is pushed to "+" side or steering shift switch "UP" is pulled.	(See NO.29 DOES NOT UPSHIFT IN M RANGE [SJ6A-EL].)
30	• Does not downshift in M range	• Gear position indicator light in instrument cluster illuminates but vehicle does not downshift when selector lever is pushed to "-" side or steering shift switch "DOWN" is pushed.	(See NO.30 DOES NOT DOWNSHIFT IN M RANGE [SJ6A-EL].)
