Hi, when I'm driving and push on the brake a warning light pops up "transmission not in park" and the auto hold brake is not working either. Does anyone no what could be causing this? It is driving fine, other then the warning light. It's a 2023 Ford Explorer XLT with 19k miles.
 






Welcome to the Forum.
You stated that when driving and you go to brake, the "transmission not in park" warning comes ON?
Is that correct or did you mean when you're stopped and go to put the transmission into Park with the foot on the brake that this happens?
Also, there is an 'Auto Hold' feature that prevents the vehicle from rolling back when driving and there is the Auto Parking Brake when you shift to Park. Are you referring to the first or second feature? The 'Auto Hold' feature can be turned ON or OFF in the settings.
You are still within the warranty period so it may be best to take it to the dealer.
