    This is WEIRD!

    Ok, something weird. A few moments after I start driving, I get a warning about the AUTO HOLD, telling me to stop and then engage the parking brake. Then I get a parking brake malfunction warning, and the "P" gets lit up on my dash. When I park the car, I restart the engine briefly, pulling up on the parking brake switch 3 times to reset, the parking brake engages, code clears, and I am good till the next time I drive. Any ideas?

    If it were my car I would get a scan of the codes in transmission, engine, and handbrake modules at the least.

    "handbrake modules"
    Good luck, OP

    If you can leave two black stripes from the exit of one corner to the braking zone of the next, you have enough horsepower. - Mark Donohue
