How to Deal with Subaru Cruise Light Flashing and Malfunction Indicator?
2 Answers
First, you need to press the brake pedal of the vehicle. Press the one-touch start button to start the vehicle. Press the CANNCEL button on the multifunction steering wheel to turn it off. The cruise light indicates that the vehicle's cruise control mode is activated as a reminder.
The cruise control light on my Subaru is flashing, and the check engine light is also on. It gave me quite a scare last time. The first thing to do is to pull over safely and turn off the engine—don’t risk driving further. Then, try a simple reset: turn off the engine, wait 10 minutes, and restart to see if the lights go off. If that doesn’t work, check if the brake lights are burnt out or have loose connections, as the cruise control system is closely linked to the brakes. If it’s just a bulb issue, replacing it yourself is inexpensive. However, if the lights keep flashing after the reset, there might be an electronic fault, like a sensor or switch malfunction. Avoid tampering with it yourself to prevent a minor issue from becoming a major one. Head to a professional repair shop immediately—they’ll use a diagnostic scanner to read the error codes and pinpoint the exact cause for repair. During regular maintenance, pay extra attention to these electronic components to prevent similar issues. Safety comes first; mishandling faults while driving can lead to serious risks.
