    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.

    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.

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

  • @PhilAndersonOutside
    @PhilAndersonOutside 2 года назад +12

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Any thoughts would be helpful.

      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.

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.

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.

      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 )

    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
