Mercedes Hill Start
Assist Not
Working? 4 Ways
To Diagnose The
Problem
Simply put, the "Hill
Start Assist" system
makes driving on sloped
roads easier.
Are you wondering what
is this feature and what
does it do?
Well, read on… and you will know
about it in detail.
Hill Start Assist- What
Role Does It Play In Your
Mercedes?
It can prevent your
Mercedes from rolling
backward when
stopping on an inclined
road.
And, to do so, it
automatically applies the
brakes when you are
switching between the
brake and the gas pedal.
And, to make that happen, it takes
the help of:-
The braking system
A variety of sensors
A control module
What Causes Mercedes
Hill Start Assist To Stop
Working?
Fault Control Module
Like any other systems,
Mercedes' "Hill Start
Assist" has a control
module.
If for any reason the
module malfunctions, Hill
Start Assist will not work.
Defective Sensor
The “Hill Start Assist” of Mercedes
relies on the following sensors to
function:-
Angle sensor
Pressure sensor
Torque sensor
Wheel speed sensor
Failure of any of these
sensors will put the hill
start assist in jeopardy.
Faulty Braking System
"Hill Start Assist" uses the
braking system to
prevent the vehicle from
rolling down the slope.
Your car's Hill Start
Assist system will not
work if the braking
system is faulty.
Mercedes Hill Start
Assist Malfunction-
Warning Signs
Some of the recognizable signs of
"Hill Start Assist" malfunction in a
car are:-
The appearance of the "Hill Start Assist
Not Available" message on the dash.
Hill Start Assist is not coming to action
when in need
Brakes locking up while driving
The appearance of ABS light and similar
other warning indicators.
Endnote
"Hill Start Assist"
malfunction can make
your Mercedes unsafe to
drive.
That’s why if this
feature is inoperative in
your car, do the needful
to diagnose the reason
behind it.
