On a 2007 vehicle why wouldn't you go back to the dealer? A check engine light means something is wrong with the emission control system. Your vehicle is under warranty and the dealer will fix the problem without charge. Came goes for the problem with your cruise control. With that said, many auto parts stores, like Auto Zone, have code readers that will tell you what is wrong and turn the check engine light off, usually without $ charge. Another way is to disconnect the battery for a half-hour or so. Everything will be reset, including your radio presets and the engine will run a little strange while the computer reprgeams itself.
Disconnect battery for about 10 minutes or Have vehicle scanned to determine problem and clear code
The computer has probably set a code for the cruise being unplugged.
1. You have a problem with the cruise control. or 2. If your check engine light is also on, get the code read, cancel the light and the cruise indicator light will probably quit flashing and the cruise will start working again.
yes it can be that the oil is frezzing Alternatively, and according to a dealer, when the check engine light comes on it also inactivates the cruise control, resulting in what you are experiencing with both the check engine light being on and the cruise light flashing.
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
Because whatever has caused the light to come on also effects the cruise from working properly. Have the system checked for codes.
check for vacuum leak.
You need to have it checked for trouble codes. You can then diagnose the cause.
Check the vacuum lines on the driver side of the engine.
That is the check engine light.That is the check engine light.
No, oil level does not cause the check engine light.
The service engine light is the same thing as a check engine light.
