Subaru Forester traction and cruise control lights remain illuminated on Subaru Forester

Some Subaru Forester owners report experiencing issues with the traction control and cruise control lights remaining illuminated, which typically indicates a problem with the vehicle's dynamic stability control system. These issues may arise from a check engine light being on, which can disable the cruise control system. Additionally, a faulty traction control system could lead to both the cruise control light blinking and the traction control light being on. Owners are advised to pull diagnostic codes to identify any underlying problems that need to be addressed for normal operation to resume. If both the brake light and traction control light are illuminated, it may indicate temporary traction loss, a disabled traction control system, faulty sensors, ABS malfunction, or broken TC/ABS modules. To prevent such issues, regular maintenance and prompt attention to warning lights are recommended. It is advisable for owners experiencing these symptoms to have their Subaru Forester inspected by a qualified mechanic to diagnose and resolve the underlying issues.
