Welcome to 2CarPros.
The first question I have is this. Has the transmission fluid ever been changed? Have you checked fluid level and condition?
Also, is the check engine light staying on when the engine is running?
What I suggest first is to confirm the transmission fluid is full and clean. To check the fluid level, the engine needs to be running and at operating temperature. You will remove the fill plug on the transmission (oil level). Fluid should trickle out if it is fill. If nothing comes out, you need to top off the fluid level until it begins coming out. Take a look at pictures 1 and 2. They show both the drain and fill plugs. You want to remove the fill plug to check this.
If the fluid is extremely low or dirty, you really should drain and refill it. Here are the directions for that. Also, the start of the directions indicate how to add fluid if it is low. The remaining pictures correlate with these directions.

Oil level Check
NOTE:
A check of ATF level is not normally required during scheduled services. If an oil leak is found, perform the oil level check procedure after repairs are completed.

When checking the oil level, be careful not to enter dust, foreign matters, etc. From fill hole.
1. Remove the ATF Injection hole(eyebolt) (A).

2. Add ATF SP-IV 700cc to the ATF injection hole.
3. Start the engine. (Don't step on brake and accelerator simultaneously.
4. Confirm that the temperature of the A/T oil temperature sensor is 50 - 60 C (122 - 140 F) with the GDS.
5. Shift the select lever slowly from "P" to "D", then "D" to "P" and repeat one more at idle.
CAUTION:
Stop in each gear position for 3 seconds.
6. Lift the vehicle, then remove the oil level plug (A) from the valve body cover.

CAUTION:
At this time, the vehicle must be a horizontal state.
7. If the oil flows out of the overflow plug in thin steady stream, the oil level is correct.
Then finish the procedure and tighten the oil plug.
NOTE:
Oil level check (excess or shortage) method
- Excess: Drain quantity exceed 900cc for tow minutes. (50 - 60 C(122 - 140 F))
- Shortage: No drain.
CAUTION:
If there is no damage at the automatic transaxle and the oil cooler, the oil cooler hose, transaxle case, valve body tightening state are normal, ATF must drop out after performing above 1 to 7 procedures. After performing above 1 to 7 procedures, if the oil doesn't drop out, inspect the automatic transaxle assembly for oil leaks.
CAUTION:
Replace the gasket before reinstalling the oil level plug.

8. Lower the vehicle with the lift and then tighten the eyebolt.
Replacement
NOTE:
The ATF of the 6 speed automatic transaxle does not need to be replaced. If the vehicle is used in severe conditions or business use, replace ATF every 60,000 miles.
Severe usage is defined as
- Driving in rough road (Bumpy, Gravel, Snowy, Unpaved road, etc.)
- Driving in mountain road, ascent/descent
- Repetition of short distance driving
- More than 50% operation in heavy city traffic during hot weather above 32 C(89.6 F).
- Police, Taxi, Commercial type operation or trailer towing, etc
1. Remove the drain plug (A) and reinstall the drain plug after draining ATF totally.
Drain plug tightening torque :
38.2 - 48.1 N.M (3.9 - 4.9 kgf.M, 28.2 - 35.4 lb-ft)
