Could a flashing cruise control light set off the check engine light or do you have two issues?

Hmmm, never heard of a flashing cruise control light. To answer your question: well, sort of. Could be the same problem causing both symptoms. Auto Zone and other auto parts stores will read your check engine code and let you know what the code means. They don't usually charge anything for this service. According to a dealer, whenever the check engine light comes on it inactivates the cruise control, resulting in both the check engine light being on and the cruise light flashing. Although this is possible, I had a '96 Outback with a nearly constant check engine light that I threw literally thousands of dollars at and never fixed and my current 2000 Forester that lost the head gasket causing a check engine light with several faults and my cruise always worked. Guess it depends on the fault. Go get it checked out. Cheap to find out just what the trouble code is. --Ken

Why is your check engine light and cruise control flashing on a 2007 Subaru impreza?
When your check engine light comes on in a Subaru, it disables the cruise control (thus why it is flashing). Take it to your local dealer, it's still under warranty. Check Engine light comes on due to a wide range of possible problems, automatically disabling the cruise control as mentioned above. The problems can range from sensor issues (MAF, Oxygen Sensors, Etc.) to a loose gas cap, to condensation, to a loose connector on a sensor, perhaps even a dying battery, a flaky alternator or a faulty battery terminal connection. It is a catch-all problem indicator. If you are lucky, you can simply reset the ECU by disconnecting the battery for a minute, and the Check Engine light will be gone and cruise control will work. If the error persists, you need to get the error code (if you do not have a code reader or accesspoint, stop by Autozone or somewhere similar and get them to read it for you) see what the error is, and fix the problem. Simple? Hopefully it's not something more troublesome, bad injector, etc.

2001 Lincoln LS traction control light staying on?
If your traction control light is constantly flashing and you are NOT drawing an OBD fault code, then the system may need to be calibrated. Ford can do this for $92. A system needs to be calibrated when a component of the traction control is replaced or disconnected and reconnected. If, however, the light returns, the problem is likely the clock spring in the steering column, also known as a "sliding contact." Ford/Lincoln is famous for these things not lasting long. It is the component that brings power to everything you need in the steering wheel (horn, cruise, air bag, radio volume, etc.). When this goes bad, it is tantamount to disconnecting/reconnecting the steering wheel position sensor (a component of the traction control). Typically, you will have other issues, such as a "high resistence" code from the air bag, or the horn or cruise will not work, etc.
