Hill Hold Function Disabled
This code is in our catalogue but has not yet been through editorial review, so the guidance below is limited to what our structured data supports. We publish deeper diagnostic content only after a code has been reviewed — here is why.
The brake or stability control module has disabled the hill hold (auto-hold) function due to a related fault. Hill start assist is unavailable until the underlying fault is repaired.
A trouble code records what a control module measured. It does not identify which part failed. Test before replacing anything.
