Hi all,

Hope someone can help....have a 15 plate Nemo that today I took to the local garage and upped the tyre pressures. I drove home about 6 miles and when I selected reverse and reversed into my space the ESC light came on and the dash says ‘hill holder unavailable see handbook”

How when I start up it bleeps Hill holder unavailable and the DAC light says on.

Any ideas?

The hill start assist is part of the ESP system. If there is a fault detected (either a wheel sensor or other part of the system), then all ESP functions are deactivated as a safety precaution. You'll need to get a fault code to pinpoint what it is unhappy about though. So whilst this fault is active, you will not have your ESP operational - so be extra cautious on wet roads as you will only have normal braking.

Wheel sensors can be dislodged if you've gone over a pothole or similar, had any work done on the brakes lately where the wiring could of been disturbed for example.
Please note, I'm no longer active on the Forum, so won't respond to messages.
