My 2006 Outback 3.0's cruise light just started flashing. Anyone know whats the most common reason for this? The car has had all its major mile maintenance visits as well as on point oilchanges

I assume the check engine light is on as well?

 

It means your car has the cruise control locked out usually and this is a result of the check engine light being on.

I know on some of the later models, the cruise control works off the tone ring of the ABS circuit; if you lose ABS, you lose cruise also.

Thanks... its weird though. Just turned off a day later.
