    Cruise-control light is flashing even when not in use

    Subaru Subaru Advice Subaru Forester Subaru Forester Advice Subaru Forester 2018

    My 2018 Subaru Forester is flashing its cruise-control light on the dash when cruise-control is not on.

    Your car is trying to tell you that there’s something wrong somewhere and that it has disabled its cruise-control function as a result. A flashing cruise-control light in this vehicle is often accompanied by a check engine light, so make sure that’s not lit as well. If the check engine light is illuminated, then the flashing cruise light is the car’s way of telling you you won’t be able to engage cruise-control to avoid causing a bigger problem.

    But you could have a different problem with the cruise-control - perhaps a speed sensor or brake-light switch problem – that is forcing the car to disable the cruise function.
