When the hill start assist feature is not functioning properly in your Ford Transit, the initial step to take is using an OBD II scan tool on your vehicle. This tool allows you to access stored codes in the vehicle's ECU. If there are any codes related to the failure of the hill start assist program, they will appear here. Typically, the issue is related to a sensor problem, but there could be other underlying issues, so it is recommended to conduct a thorough scan. Another possible reason for the hill start assist not working is when the traction control system detects a fault, which may occur on rough or icy roads with poor vehicle traction.
The hill assist feature in the Ford Transit is currently disabled because of issues with the transmission system.
