I have a Check engine light on, and a flashing cruise control light. 2005 forester. Help.

You have to get the codes read, then get back.

Most auto stores will read the codes for free.

 

O.

in newer cars, cruise, traction control, VDC, even sometimes ABS, can be disabled for ANY code set.

 

if the car is running well - it may not be anything serious. Have the codes read and record the number, have them clear the ECU if they will. Post the codes here and monitor for how quickly or 'if' , the codes come back.

 

how many miles on the car? new to you? how well has it been maintained, etc.
