--- | --- | --- | ---
1 | Vehicle does not move in D, M ranges, or in R position | • Vehicle does not move when accelerator pedal is depressed. | (See NO.1 VEHICLE DOES NOT MOVE IN D, M RANGES, OR IN R POSITION [SJ6A-EL].)

3 | Vehicle moves in P position, or parking gear does not disengage when P is disengaged | • Vehicle rolls when on a downward slope and tires do not lock in P position. • Tires are locked when P is disengaged. Vehicle does not move in D range, and R position when the accelerator pedal is depressed, and the engine remains in a stalled condition. | (See NO.3 VEHICLE MOVES IN P POSITION, OR PARKING GEAR DOES NOT DISENGAGE WHEN P IS DISENGAGED [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 the accelerator pedal is depressed for acceleration from standstill, engine speed increases normally but the vehicle speed increases slowly. • When the 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 the accelerator pedal is depressed for upshifting. • Engine flares up suddenly when the 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 the accelerator pedal at upshifting. • During cruising, excessive shift shock is felt when depressing the 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 the 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 the 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 the vehicle coasts when the accelerator pedal is released during cruising at medium to high speeds. • Engine speed drops to idle but the vehicle coasts when the 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 is emitted from the transmission. • Smoke is emitted from the transmission. | (See NO.23 TRANSMISSION OVERHEATS [SJ6A-EL].)
