Slow Acceleration with Gas Pedal Hesitation

If you receive customer reports in the above model vehicles of a brief sensation of delayed acceleration (hesitation) when accelerating back up from low speeds with only light pressure on the accelerator pedal, but does not occur when the accelerator pedal is depressed into the "kick down" range or when the vehicle is moving at higher speeds, this may be caused by the transmission shifting down with a slight delay and the engine only delivering the required power after a slightly delayed downshift from the transmission when a light pressure is applied to the accelerator at low speeds. To remedy, flash and SCN code the transmission with SDS software version 02/08 or later.
