Subaru Check Engine Light Lit And Cruise Control Light Flashing Fix
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 чер 2020
- If you have a Subaru, and the cruise control light is flashing and the check engine light has come on, this video shows what can be causing it. The most common cause of a Subaru check engine light being on with the cruise control light flashing is a loose or missing fuel cap. In my case, someone lost the gas cap on my car, which caused the check engine light to come on and the cruise control light to flash. When this happens, there is nothing wrong with your cruise control. Tightening the gas cap, or replacing it will fix the problem, and the lights will eventually go out while you are driving. Watch this video if you want to know how to fix w Subaru with the check engine light lit and the cruise control light flashing.
Here's where you can get a Subaru repair manual:

Was going on a late night ripper in the 2.5 Saab and had this come on after fueling up. Immediately check online and find your video. Thanks for providing quick clarity without bs
You’re welcome
Thank you. Just filled up my 2012 WRX on a 33 / 91 degree day. Took car to hand wash, super humid inside. Engine, traction lights on and Cruise flashing after car wash. Removed gas / petrol cap, pressure release evident, start car, no more warning lights. Cheers, JAYTEE
Thanks! This post and the comments helped me go from panic to calm after a bit of work. Cleaned and tightened down my gas cap. Started engine and still saw the flashing cruise and constant check engine lights as well as that skidding car icon. Opened the hood, disconnected the ground cable from the battery for a short while. Reconnected that then started up the engine to see things back to normal. Sure am grateful for resources like this versus the "old days" where I might have been forced to take it to the dealer and believe what they diagnosed was the problem. Surely Subaru could add a "check your gas cap" message or icon.
You’re welcome
Pro Tip: If you loose your gas cap, go to a large gas station like QT. Tell them you left your cap their a day or two ago. They usually have a shoe box with 4 or 5 caps in it. Take the box to your car and use the one that fits. Don''t believe me, ask next time you get gas just to see.
Genius!!! Thanks!
Genius!!! Thanks!
My dad did this with sunglasses at the airport. Got a nice pair of Sarengetis.
2008 Subaru Liberty 2.4L Wagon
These 3 same dash lights appeared, the codes all read to airway : intake issues, I replaced the air filter & cleaned the mess sensor as it was dirty , I was low on oil, I also put in some fuel injector cleaner & I drove away dash light free : wasn’t the fuel cap for me !
Great, thanks for giving some alternative causes 👍
I tried this bit still was on, so then i did the following, Disconnect the battery positive and ground cables for awhile, also connect both cables while Disconnected from battery terminals,turn headlights to on to remove any residual power, wait for some time. Reconnect battery terminals and proceed to idle relearn procedure. Took my engine light and flashing cruise away immediately in 06 forester, I Disconnect overnight .Cheers
Realy....? There's a receipt for a new battery in the Subaru booklet I found.
@@matthewwagner47 hes saying to reset the computer system
@@eastoakland-S65feen diconnecting the battery and connecting the wires resets all the cars computers
I might sounds dumb but connecting the wirew to where mate
Had the same issue. I took the cap off, then put it back on. No more issue LOL. Thank you!
You are a legend. Just fixed my sons imprezza. Thanks
You’re welcome
Same happened to our 2009 Subaru. It was a loose negative battery cable.
This shit scared me I didn't know it was this common lmao
Great. Now I gotta pay a mechanic for 25 seconds of work to turn off the warning lights.
Or just buy a code reader
Disconnect battery
Connect neg and pos for two days
And code will clear
Jiffy lube does it free
@@alNangehi, what do you mean by connect negative positive for 2 days, can you please explain further?
Disconnecting/reconnecting your battery, after the gas cap replacement may have worked too. Worked for my 2014 Forester
Thanks!
Thank you
Did you lose your Cruise Control?
@@wvhuk2321 i had a friend use a code reader and reset it for me.
Mine used to come on every couple months as well as the ebrake light. Hard reset after work and all done.
Had same issue. Took a week of driving to and from work and other trips, but light went out.
There are several things that could be causing this. I did a fairly extensive search:
1. Go to a good autoparts store that will use a code reader to plug into your car, for free. (Autozone is one). Get that code, write it down. Do a search for the code.
2. There's a fuse that can blow, causing this. Sometimes happens after you swap the battery, or a deep freeze/heat wave. Finding the right fuse can be tricky.
3. Try unplugging your + battery cable. Wait a few minutes. Put your foot on the brake (to drain any last power lingering). Wait a few minutes. Plut the battery + cable back in. Start the car.
There are several check engine light triggers that also nix the cruise control. Cat converter, O2 sensors, fuel sensors, many more. Go back to #1 above.
HELPFUL TIP..THANKS
Dude thank you 😤🤝
Hi, thanks so much for this information. Just bought my Subie 3 weeks ago, and this happened! I was worried it was serious. Where can I get it reset? Auto store?
hey bro so its nothing serious
Code reader at auto store apparently
i’m super scared i have a 2010 forester it’s losing and burning oil and the oil is very thin for a couple months now. Check engine and cruise control light just came on yesterday AND im not missing the gas cap. I HOPE I REALLY DONT HAVE TO CHECK MY ENGINE ;(
It’s entirely possible the engine is burned out. I hope that’s not the case. You can put some over-the-counter oil thickener in it and see if it helps.
Very good. I installed a new gas tank cap but it didn't solve the problem. It's been 4 days and still the signs continue. Could the problem be something else? I have a 2014 Subaru Forester.
It could be something else. My Subaru is 10 years older than yours. You’ll have to get an automotive code reader and see if you can read the trouble code.
2011 WRX…I take fuel cap off, put back on, cycle ignition 6 times, gone.
replaced my gas cap but had to unplug/replug my battery to reset the codes and it was good to go, thanks
Perfect! I just bought a 2004 Legacy and this happened when driving. I checked the cap and opened and closed it. I'll reset the light with my Foxwell if it doesn't go away until I'm back home, got a few errands to run so multiple on/off might do the trick🤞
My battery is bad. And i just now noticed my check engine light is on. I looked it up and it said that a bad battery could make it go off. But ontop of that my cruise control light is blinking too. Idk if its because when i was using it i disengaged it while going about 80mph.
My check engine light is on and my cruise is blinking also traction light is on and solid. If I checked the gas cap and disconnected and re connected the green plug, what else can I do?
did you figure out what the issue was?
@@spookhe4415 yes the hose had detached giving all those lights. It was slowly coming off, finally it detached when I went to a place to see what codes were running
What hose detached? I’m having same issue
here is how i fixed it! ...replaced both o2 sensors on catalytic converter(200 bucks from rock auto) also removed catalytic converter(15 min- 9 bolts easily accessible) and soaked it overnight in a large cooler with purple zep degreaser(15bucks)and water. then rinsed out converter with garden hose for 1/2 hr and placed back in cooler of just water to soak overnight again. reassembled and most lights went off(you can also disconnect battery for 20 min to reset ecm and reconnect) except brake light witch took couple drives to go off on its own, been 500 miles and problem hasn't returned. welcome
My light wasn’t shutting off after turning it on n off a few times so i simply disconnected the batter for a few minutes and pressed the break to get rid of any left over power and when i reconnected everything the lights were gone
Funniest video during search of solution for my su ))))
Thanks!
just got in my car this morning and had this same issue.....hopefully it will clear on it's own, if not, will get it cleared I guess. Thanks!
You’re welcome
thanks mate same problem with my sons car and sure enough no petrol cap thank god for youtube
You’re welcome
Dude, i just saved time and money, God bless you!!!
Glad I could help.
But the cruise? Mine was bc I had to replace P2138
I have disconnected the battery and it works but as soon as I use it, it once again shows the cruise control light and engine light, what else can I do?
Buy a new gas cap. It's not sealing correctly.
The brute force way to reset it by disconnecting the battery negative terminal. It forces the diagnostic system to reset its state, which causes the lights to go off. Also, the cap may just be not screwed on correctly. This also triggers the engine light.
I left my gas cap off and I have a check engine light with the blinking odometer. I put the gas cap back on, and I've driven the car several times since then.
I came across your comment and disconnect the negative terminal, but when I reconnected, nothing changed.
Yeh the gas cap has nothing 2 do with the cruise control light my light came on after I used my cruise control something went wrong haven't been able 2 use the cruise control since.
How did you reset it. Explain fully please..
Mine went on after i quickly descended a hill a few hundred metres. I expect the change in air pressure caused it.
Just bought a Subaru Forrest 09 an after driving it home 30 minutes, engine light,traction controll light and cruise blinking.
The car seems too run fine, starts up good,no hesitation. Runs fine except cautions light.
Strange though, can hear a resination/almost humming sound that increases when on highway. At under 30 you cant hear it.
Sound like it's coming from speakers almost. Remember hearing sound like that when I was little 1980's i afew cars.
Im realy worried I got ripped off 6k.
Any thoughts would be helpful.
Sincerely Worried....
My 2008 Subaru Impreza will throw my check engine light show no traction control and cruise flashes when I step on the car and throws an emissions code runs fine but I’d like to know what’s causing it. I’ve cleared mine a few times but everytime I go to pass someone or something and gotta step on it it throws a check engine light so I gave up runs perfect besides that
I got an 07 forester ripped off for$ 8500! It was low mileage 75,000 or so, but had neverrrrrr been serviced and came from rusty New England so….trying to get it back to shape.
This error has continued since the oxygen sensor came loose on the highway. I unplugged the battery, have an OEM gas cap, and have replaced air filters, all oils and gaskets, etc. Still having this issue so I’m gonna take it to a dedicated Subaru shop.
@@adlevhashamayim4694 Good luck! Better bring your wallet and your first born.
@@Modeltnick LOL It’s so bad. The frame is rusted like to the point it’s just chipping off and someone sprayed foam insulator on the corner to “mitigate” rust. I’m not complaining and I’m grateful I can get to work but let’s just say I’m trying to save up to have a car that won’t be dangerous to drive. They said it was safe to drive for now but definitely look into getting a new car within the next year or so.
I took it to dealer and they fixed the drive belts and some steering issues and I’ll have it taken in eventually for the 60,000k service just for added comfort and to last me the rest of the year but I will not be saving it unfortunately :( it’s such a nice car and the interior is almost mint condition. Sucks.
My friend has a similar 09 forester who is getting an engine replacement for $4200.
@@adlevhashamayim4694 I hear you. I have a 2007 Forester that I bought new. It has close to 260K on the clock. It hasn’t been a cheap car to maintain. They blow head gaskets at least once in their life. I just replaced the transmission and now I have a CEL on. Probably a weak cat. I might try the 5.00 fix with the O2 sensor adapter. I wanted to replace the car but there’s literally no new car inventory and they get away with charging thousands over MSRP. I’ll keep nursing this car along for the short term, I guess! Good luck to you!
Thank you verry much champ❤.
Will correct it now. I'll let you know
You’re welcome
thank you!
You’re welcome
@@hoohoohoblin it went away and came back. think it might need to be replaced ?
You just saved my ass man! Cheers from down under Australia 🤙🏽
Thanks. Glad I could help.
Hopefully your friend learns how to properly put gas into a car next time!
Thanks for sharing! It works. You are awesome!
You're welcome!
Thanks for posting the video
You’re welcome
FUI A AUTOZONE Y ERA EL PROBLEMA EL TROTTLE BODY INYECTOR AY QUE LIMPIARLO O REMPLASARLO
None of you are right if this happens it’s a sensor sometimes people will fix the solenoids but forget to replace the oil pressure sensor right next to the solenoid, I did both my solenoid and nothing worked because the oil pressure sensor is the only thing that won’t show a code for it in the part of the cars block
I have replaced my radiator and my thermostat and my lights came back on
Same issue. How did you fix it?
@@robertosaragoni2218 go take it to the subaru dealership also replace your brake switch and your gas cap and then go have them check your head gasket mine went out
Thank You! I Love You! ❤️ Subaru Power! 🥳🙌
You’re welcome
What did you use for the program to do that
I used a code reader to reset the warning light. You could also disconnect the car battery and then reconnect it, and that will reset the codes as well.
Ty
Yw
Many thanks, kind stranger!
You’re welcome
What's that thing to reset?
Either disconnect the negative terminal from your battery or use an OBD2 reader to reset
Dang only 110k miles on that baby just bought an 06 with 137k love it
We just got an 05 outback imprezza and luckily it only has 65,000
Have they come back on?
No.
@@hoohoohoblin awesome thanks
I did this and it still goes
On
Was hoping this was for code P000C 🤦♀️
I have the exact same issue, with the check engine and ABS lights constantly on and cruise control on constantly flashing...
Error codes showing on my car:
P0000 - [could my sensor be broken?]
P0303 and P0301 - I will check my coils and spark plugs after determining if the sensor is broken or not
C0072
C0042
C0071
Other people have had success by simply replacing the gas cap or 7.5 fuses, but my codes don't suggest the cap is the issue and my fuses are both in tact...
Could it just be an issue with my sensor causing my issues? Anyone have any pointers? Thanks
in the futuuuure 😂😂
So what if mine flashes and cruise control won’t work but I still have a gas cap 😂
Same that's what mine is doing too
there are of course other possible causes for the blinking cruise indicator, to be sure you need to use a code reader. (it still can be a faulty gas cap, or it isn't properly screwed on. Not only a fully missing lets too much air in😁)
Thanks me misses done it to me car
Serious bro ?
Oh thank god
Clear the code
Watched every vid and every non mechanic ass person says same shit. But if u have this issue change both 7.5 amp fuses and goodbye check engine light
If the fuses aren't broken will this still make a difference?
@jacksonhalliwell7621 it depends I'm out the Subaru game for good. I've never spent so much $ on a car that kept fucking up no matter how much $ I put into them. More people are smart to this now that's why prices has dropped. Get rid of it and buy a honda just make sure it has no rust
What was the code?
It was the gas cap missing. My son went to put gas in the car and forgot to put the gas cap on.
If anyone sees this comment & has any experience with pretty much any of it please let me know if there was any solution to any of the issues. I’m at my wits end & have given up. Luckily it’s paid off…..ha…😑 I’ve had this issue for the longest time. Car drives normal but the traction control light & ABS light come on every time I turn my 2011 Impreza hatchback on and drive for a few hundred meters. They come on at the same time typically when I tap the brakes. I gave up after all my interior lights won’t work, the lock/unlock fob on my keys doesn’t work for god knows why. Checked fuses, googled for days while wanting to pull my hair out couldn’t fix anything & became so frustrated feeling like I’m missing something. And to top it off a few weeks ago my check engine light started coming on with a flashing cruise control light but the engine sometimes acts like it’s not getting power…(which I’ve had this issue before upon changing the air filter but it eventually goes away) but after driving for a minute there is I believe a clicking noise when u press the gas but after a little bit, it drives completely normal. However the lights all stay on so idk. Lemme know I’m copy n pasting this to multiple vids in hopes that someone can help. If not thx anyways.
Did you receive any solution for this ? I have same issue
Same issues help
@@samanthavitalone346 have your speed sensors checked in the wheels a mechanic can read the codes and tell which one.
Yeah buying parts for subaru sucks
Ни че не понятно. Грёбанный перевод
Fucking gold man!!
Thanks
$47. for a New Gas Cap
Ouch!
Well my fixed Device dose not work without paying a fee to use the device I payed good money for when I But it said nothing about paying a fee in order to use it to tell you what may be wrong with your vehicle So now it's useless device and a waste of money
yeah, but most of us who have these lights on are not missing our gas cap. waste of my time
Ahh, stay positive dude, he is trying to help us and I am pretty sure you have no relevant facts supporting the "most of us". A loose or faulty gas cap can give the code, and of course, there are other codes that can be thrown that make the engine/cruise light combo where only a code reader gives you the real code.
He is trying to help with some insight, but sadly you have to think a bit for yourself😁😁
note to mechanic... when someone is holding a camera filming you, tell the truth. Just kidding this is obviously staged because a dishonest mechanic would not have answered any question while somebody was filming. ( proof, the camera is moving the whole time. If it was hidden it would not be moving )
Good tip. Thanks a lot.
