Chevrolet Aveo hold button remains on, requiring disconnection on Chevrolet Aveo

Problem overview

Some Chevrolet Aveo owners report experiencing issues with the HOLD button remaining activated, which can complicate driving and vehicle operation. These owners have found that pressing the button next to the handbrake can deactivate the Auto Hold feature, but if the button is stuck, cleaning the switch near the gear shift lever may be necessary. Additionally, a blinking HOLD light may signal potential transmission problems, electrical issues, or engine misfires, prompting a recommendation for inspection by a certified mechanic or Chevrolet dealership. Some owners test the hold mode by accelerating; if the RPM remains high, they can confirm that the mode is disengaged by pressing the switch again. It's important to note that while the HOLD function is integrated into the transmission control module, it can be manually utilized to shift the automatic transmission if needed.
