is the HSA on automatically? Can you turn it off?

HSA Off

If you wish to turn off the HSA system, follow this procedure:

1. Start with the engine off and vehicle in PARK (automatic transmission) or NEUTRAL with clutch out (manual transmission) with wheels straight. Apply parking brake on manual transmission vehicle.
2. Start the engine.
3. With the engine running, the brake applied, and the clutch out, rotate the steering wheel 180° counterclockwise from center.
4. Press the ESP OFF switch four times within twenty seconds.
5. Rotate the steering wheel 360° clockwise (180° clockwise from center).
6. Cycle ignition switch OFF then ON.
7. If the sequence was completed properly, the “ESP/ TCS Indicator Light” will blink several times to confirm HSA is off.

Steps 1-7 must be completed within 90 seconds to turn off HSA. Repeat steps 1-7 to re-enable HSA functionality.

 

I'm pretty sure the hill assist on the standards only stops you from rolling back. I coast down hills here all the time and never have had the issue.

My guess would be something in the stability management, or abs system.

 

Hi guys, I am not glad to hear it has happened to other but also I am because I know I am not crazy now! I took it into the dealer Monday and of course they said I am crazy its a manual it cant down shift and of course they cant make it happen to them so there isnt a problem. I am a little worried for when winter time comes and the wife and little man head up to the cabin. I might have to give them my F350 instead of the jeep. I am going to try and head up to the hill it happens on in the next few weeks and try to see if it will happen again. I have a gopro so I am going to set it up and see what it will catch. I honestly think there is nothing more frustrating then knowing something is going on and having a dealer tell you there is no problems. There was no codes present and everything seemed to be fine on their end. They said its a brand new vehicle so there shouldn't be problems.
