Your system may just need to be reset. That recently happened to me and the Subaru service dept was able to fix it quickly and easily. I think it happens when your vehicle suffers a power failure. My battery had died, and upon replacement, the lights flashed. Also my power locks ceased to function. That also needed a quick reset and everything was soon back to normal. Good luck. Desk

Disconnecting the Battery (and Reconnecting it of course) will get the light to go out. Assuming you have fixed the problem, it should not come back on. I do not know if this will "reset" it, though.

Disconnect the battery, push the brake pedal down and count to 30. Reconnect the battery, and the ECU is now reset.
