Hey Guys.

I used to always get the hill holder error after disconnecting the battery like most people do and then it would just goes away soon after.

The past 2 resets though it hasn't gone away and its quite annoying, anyone have a method to get it removed? I also have an issue with my power not kicking in sometimes when I put my foot down, I'm kind of thinking the 2 are related.

check the brake switch -are your rear brake lights on all the time??

Nope, just checked.

No clue what it may be, but if it's electrical related would it prompt an error on a scanner? Possibily try?

Nope it doesn't no errors at all. I've tried to find a solution on other threads posted here but I seem to be the only one with Hill Holder as the soul problem. My ASR works perfectly fine, my ABS works and I have no other errors

Anyone got any [FONT=&quot]suggestion[/FONT]s for me?
I ended up changed the brake line sensor with a new one and that has solved the random lose of power but hill holder still pops up with an error and refuses to go away.

Does ANYONE know how to remove it or check it out under or around the car?

Try another battery reset. Disconnect for 5 mins. Stick it back in and go for a drive for about 20 minutes, try and get a mixture of roads into it. (Slow city roads, fast motorways, hills etc.) it may just be a dodgy reset.

reset using an OBD2 scanner

hillholder uses the ABS and inertial sensor so i guess he means wheel (ABS) sensor

I'll try do a reset through my phone app and through various windows apps and get back with my results.

Damn these sensors and checks. I had the battery unplugged for almost 2 days.

Have you tried what I said earlier in the thread. Disconnect battery, wait 5 minutes. Reconnect it and then go for a good half hour drive. Including hills, motorway. Basically all sort of driving. It's an ECU reset basically.

It depends where in South Africa he is, cause there isn't always hills everywhere

But if there are no hills, how does he know he has a "Hill Holder Error"?

Well it sounds like the light is permanently on after he reconnected the battery. But anyways there should be a hill somewhere close to him unless he lives in the Karoo (sub-saharan terrain)

Half mile drive will be sufficient to reset hill holder, no need for 30 minutes
