Hill start assist

The first thing you need to do is have the car scanned for codes and give me the exact code numbers not code descriptions?That is our starting point. it could be a sensor or electrical or a bad transmission. I just had a Mazda 3 that they thought the transmission was bad went and looked at it turned out to be a bad transmission computer.

I have a code i Will send it when i get home . Thank you . And also, was it expensive to repair?

It was a 2005 Mazda 3 I tried to have it repaired they told me it was in repairable so that cost $75.00 for them looking at it and I found a brand new one for $515.00. I could not get a rebuilt one I did not have a good core.

I just got the same problem I have a Ford Focus 2012 SEL. can someone elaborate in the possible problems and potential fix? thank you.

Whenever I am driving down the road, randomly, an alert saying 'Hill Start Assist Unavailable' will pop-up, along with the E-Brake light, ABS light, and the Traction Control light will flash and turn off. The car stays running with no issues. However, if my phone is connected to the Bluetooth it will disconnect, and if my phone is plugged into the AUX it will completely turn off. So far, it has not effected the driving, but it is getting annoying.

Hello,

This sounds like you have an ABS wheel speed sensor that is going out but to be sure lets run the codes to see what comes up here is a video to help.
