With vehicle speed above 43 km/h (27 mph), press accelerator pedal to floor, Wide Open Throttle (WOT). The transaxle should shift from 4th to 3rd, or 4th to 2nd, depending on the vehicle speed. The Torque Converter Clutch (TCC) should release.
With vehicle speed above 56 km/h (35 mph), move the selector lever from D range to L range and remove foot from accelerator pedal. The transaxle should immediately downshift to 2nd gear. When vehicle speed drops below 32 km/h (20 mph), the transaxle should downshift into 4th gear.
If the transaxle fails to upshift/downshift or TCC does not apply and release, refer to DIAGNOSIS BY SYMPTOM for possible causes.

• You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
• Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
• The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
• You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
• You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
