HillHold question

[gvsvic]

I just purchased a 2011 JK with the 6-speed trans. Is there any way to disable the hill hold feature?

whats a hill hold?

Its in the owners manual. I've seen it done before its turning the wheel around and pushing buttons.

Most slush box have that feature built in. The first time it happens is weird. The early TJ's came with a three speed transmission and to keep it from happening on a hill climb was to keep the slush box in 1st gear. It automatically holds in city, but if I slam it into 1st it will start to climb up the hill. At this time there is no way to disable that feature.

From the 2011 owners manual page 415...

NOTE: The HSA system may also be turned on and off
if the vehicle is equipped with the Electronic Vehicle
Information Center (EVIC). Refer to Electronic Vehicle
Information Center (EVIC) in “Understanding Your Instrument
Panel” for further information.

If you wish to turn off the HSA system, follow this
procedure:
1. Start with the engine off and vehicle in PARK (auto-
matic transmission) or NEUTRAL with clutch out
(manual transmission) with wheels straight. Apply park-
ing brake on manual transmission vehicle.
2. Start the engine.
3. With the engine running, the brake applied, and the
clutch out, rotate the steering wheel 180° counterclock-
wise from center.
4. Press the ESP OFF switch four times within twenty
seconds.
5. Rotate the steering wheel 360° clockwise (180° clock-
wise from center).
6. Cycle ignition switch OFF then ON.
7. If the sequence was completed properly, the “ESP/
TCS Indicator Light” will blink several times to confirm
HSA is off.
Steps 1-7 must be completed within 90 seconds to turn off
HSA. Repeat steps 1-7 to re-enable HSA functionality.

Sweet now us pre-esp button jeeps have something more to hate the JK crowd for.

On steep hills the jeep will hold itself so you won't roll back giving you a few seconds to get in gear and start going.

I can see it being nice and annoying at the same time.

early TJ's came with a three speed transmission and to keep it from happening on a hill climb was to keep the slush box in 1st gear.

So keeping it in first with the 3 speed disables the hillhold?

so, now you don't have to know how to really drive a stick well to go 4x4ing, is what that is? i can see its leading to the old clutchless standards like the vw bug and ghia used to come with, ha ha ha

Thanks, LGR. Is this procedure for JK without EVIC? Mine does not have this.
