Flashing Hold Light

[BoOdOg]

Hello,<p> I was getting a flashing hold in my car awhile ago, I took it to someone and they had it fixed in under 5min. So I am going to post this to try and help anyone I can. There is a bolt that is made of white metal and seems to cause this issue. "Fluid Film Superior Lubrication" Anything used to free bolts would probably work <p>:D<p>[ June 19, 2003: Message edited by: Bo0d0g ]</p>

What exactly did the person do to correct the problem? replace the bolt? what was wrong with the bolt?

[BoOdOg]

the bolt starts to stick after time, so you can 1 replace the bolt. Or just use a fliud to lubricate the bolt to freeze it up. That is what I did I notice a difference in 1 no more flashing hold light and two my car seems to shift easier

I read the same post. My hold light would flash if I was in heavy stop start traffic. After spraying that bolt with a penatrating oil, I've not seen the hold light flash since. I cant work out what the oil had freed up, but it works.<p>Jeremy

[BoOdOg]

off hand not sure, I will person who fixed it for me and ask them why it works and what it is for

i have the same problem but its been on since i got the car (about 2 weeks ago) and it is so @$^#* annoying, so just spraying that bolt with a little lube will help?

[BoOdOg]

it did fix mine, and also fix others. So yes. Give it a try. Or you can replace the bolt.

my question is how did he know it was that bolt causing the problem, i wouldnt have thought it would be that

well i sprayed the bolt and one the sensor on the throttle body was lose so i connected it back and now the check engine light is gone and the hold light is gone, im so happy.
