If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there

The jimny uses throttle position to select gear.
If your foot is flat on the floor and it won't change down, likely fault is with the throttle position sensor circuit.
If it is not operating all 4 gears and lockup, you may be in limp home mode, when the gearbox will not operate properly. There is a diagnostic connector, but you need a special code reader for the transmission.
You sure it isn't just down on power due to a blocked catalyst?
BTW please don't write all in capitals, netiquette (have I made up a word) dictates that this is shouting.
