Turns Out my "Stop Light Fuse" (blue 15a) was blown so my brake lights were not working and maybe its a safety feature that the ECU disables AutoHold because i dont have brake lights... This fuse is located in fuse box under the hood And everything went back to normal after replacing it The same fuse has blown again and same lights came on, i replaced it and fixed again. I dont know why my STOP LIGHT FUSE keeps blowing though.
We had this problem also. 2013 kia optima sxl. Our mechanic said it can happen when someone tries to drive the car with the hood open. He suggested removing the ground from battery, waiting 3 minutes and then connecting ground again. Fixed it. Never came on again and all funcitions of auto hold and traction control work perfectly. GO FIGURE!!
