Hill Start Help

Postby Jamesg5206 » Sun Dec 09, 2018 2:24 pm

I've got a 64 plate Tourneo and it's just started to come up with a message that the Hill Start is not available. Does anyone know what the problem could be?

Had my 64 plate from new, at this time every year, I get Fuel filter blocked, hill assist not available messages appear, not every day but every other day, turn it off and turn it back on and the fault disappears, as soon as the warmer weather comes, I don’t see the messages until the following winter.

Thanks Doormedic. I'll see if it appears tomorrow. I have been think of disconnecting the batteries of an hour or so to see if that clears the problem. I wonder if it might be a problem with the hill start system as I've never had this message come up on any of the other Customs I've had.

Interesting topic, my Focus did this yesterday, but cleared when I re-started the engine, and hasn't re-appeared yet :?
I need to get forscan plugged in to see if there are codes to help diagnosis :idea:

We had a mk7 that had hill start faults.

So we just disabled hill start - no more problems.

If there isn't a menu option for it, there is some combination of button pushing that does it.

I think I've solved the problem. I noticed the clutch pedal was getting stuck half way. I freed up the pedal and the warning light went out and had not come on since.
