If the HOLD mode light flashes on Your Chevy Aveo sometimes indicates a malfunction in the automatic transmission. The HOLD light can have something to do with the gears not shifting in the transmission. Some owners reported that after replacing the coil packs that the light went away. A coolant thermostat malfunction has also been reported to cause this problem. A coil pack is a collection of ignition coils that transforms power from the automobile's battery to generate a spark to individually fire each cylinder. If You are not having any transmission problems I would start by replacing the coil pack.

My Aveo flashing hold button came on. We took the gear shift box off and there’s a small device that is close to the gear shift. It has a button. Start the car. Press the button down, put car in gear. Car works fine. No problem. Only thing is, right now, the plastic cover is off until I can replace the HOLD button switch.

Some say it could be a fault in the engine wiring harness or the ECU itself. My mechanic says its the Transmission, which he is been forcing me to do an overhaul to. But I know its not the Transmission, as the check engine light goes off first and then the hold light gets triggered. Each time the OBD reader says ENGINE MISSFIRE 0P300. Which is an engine miss fire. The runs smooth as butter it just wont shift into the 4th gear when the lights flash. I have now gotten used to this and just keep driving it as is. I put the gear in neutral and switch off the engine and switch it back on and put in drive, which shifts the gear into 4th. Its either I keep driving it the way it is considering how much I have already spent on it. Or sell it to the scrap yard and shoot myself.

My 06 shifted hard but had hardly no power getting going and had no passing gear (automatic) the hold light is flashing. I have been looking up to what it could be. Seen where it might be camshaft position sensor, Iam going to replace it, looks easy to do, Iwill give update later

There is a hold button beside the gear shifter. Turn the key to the on position without starting the car and push the whole button. When I start the car after that, the whole light stops flashing.

I think the crankshaft sensor need to be replaced, because it gives a bad signal to the computer to misfire the ignition coil
