Outback same issue: cruise control light blinks check engine & VDC OFF lit. Why?
What is your question?
2007 Subaru Outback: After filling up with gas yesterday with triple digit outdoor temperature, the check engine light and Vehicle Dynamics Control OFF light came on constantly and the cruise control light blinks. I knew to check the gas cap to be sure it was properly closed but the two lights continue and cruise light blinks. I have driven far enough that if the gas cap was cause, the problem should have corrected by now. I have noticed same problem from others so want to know what the diagnosis was for this issue. I have appointment tomorrow for dealer to check but would like a heads up before then,
What makes this problem better or worse?
No change
How long has your 2007 Subaru Outback had this problem?
RepairPal Certified shops can diagnose and repair your 2007 Subaru Outback. They provide transparent pricing with a minimum 12-month or 12,000-mile warranty on repairs and services.
And just like all the others *hands-on* testing IS required to discover what the failure actually is.
Anytime there is an engine operating malfunction - (check engine light) - cruise control AND vehicle dynamics control systems are deactivated by ‘default’ - thus those lights are activated.
Hopefully tomorrow you will have the answer to your question after the required *hands-on* testing has been completed..
It is impossible to determine the failure otherwise!
Good luck!
Additionally - ANY engine operating system error will have the same results - therefore what was done to repair another vehicle of the same make year and model isn’t likely to be the same thing as your concerns.
