- Parking brake. If the parking brake is engaged, the hold light will flash to remind you.
- Low oil pressure. If the oil pressure in the engine is too low, the hold light will flash to warn you.
- Overheated engine. If the engine temperature gets too high, the hold light will flash to warn you.
- Transmission problems. If the transmission is not working properly, the hold light may flash.
If the hold light is flashing, it is important to take your car to a mechanic as soon as possible to have the problem diagnosed. Driving with the hold light flashing can damage your engine or transmission.
Here are some tips for diagnosing the problem:
- Check the parking brake. Make sure the parking brake is fully disengaged.
- Check the oil level. If the oil level is low, add oil to the engine.
- Check the engine temperature. If the engine is overheated, allow it to cool down before driving.
- Check the transmission fluid. If the transmission fluid is low, add fluid to the transmission.
- If none of these solutions work, take the car to a mechanic.
