It is possible that the oil level is incorrect. But, it is very likely that you need to replace the two 2574.16 solenoids. This is not difficult, but you need to plan it and it may take you about 2-3 hours and 4 liters of Mobil ATF LT71141 as well as the 2 solenoids..

This guy changed them in-place:

 

The tools are mainly standard tools as well as Torx set (mainly 30) and Hex 8 (L shape) and square 8mm for the Oil refill..

 

Please notice that you need to review how to add and check the ATF (Oil) level.. instructions available in a different thread on this site.. Oil change MUST happen at temperature between 59 and 69 degrees Centigrade.. (Use a Lexia Device to check)..

 

Good luck, Simple.
