Why is the cruise control light blinking in my Subaru?
I’ve had my Subaru Impreza for nearly 180,000 miles and never had a single issue with it. But today, I had a check engine light come on, AND the cruise control light is blinking. Does this mean there’s a problem with my cruise control? What should I do to diagnose this? Why is the cruise control light blinking in my Subaru?

First off, congrats on getting that deep into your mileage without running into major issues! We know Subarus are super reliable and this is fairly common, but still, that’s excellent! Hopefully, this will be something minor.
To figure out why the cruise control light is blinking in your Subaru, you’ll want to use an OBD II scanner and see what codes are showing. This could be anything from a loose gas cap (check that first!) or a blown fuse to something more sinister, like transmission or braking system errors.
Of course, most people don’t own OBD II scanners. But you can take your car to most auto parts stores (especially the big chains) and ask them to scan it for free. Once you have the code, you can search it up online and get a better sense of what the issue is.
We’re sorry we couldn’t give a more specific answer here, but the code reader should hopefully point you in the right direction. And hey, if it’s any consolation,
