emlclcy Posted August 3, 2022 Posted August 3, 2022 Ive a 2007 outback and the cruise light has started to flash with the engine symbol on constant. Any ideas people?
Greenmamba Posted August 3, 2022 Posted August 3, 2022 Some sensor is reporting out-of-range readings. There will be a code - that needs reading. Only then will anyone be able to guide you to the cause.
emlclcy Posted August 3, 2022 Author Posted August 3, 2022 Ok thanks. Are the code readers available to joe blogs or is this a garage job
Greenmamba Posted August 3, 2022 Posted August 3, 2022 Code readers are available from around £20 or so. eBay has dozens. OBD2 reader is what to look for. Alternately there is a free programme - Freessm - downloadable to laptop, which gets connected to the car's OBD port via a cable, the type of which escapes me. Alternatively, your car should have an obd read option which displays the various fault codes on the dashboard. You get to this via a series of switches (headlights, trip meter) the sequence of which currently escape me. If I find it I'll send it. There are also small plug in readers which BT connect to a downloaded app on your phone. Lastly, most half-decent garage should have a code reader so you might want to ask if you have a friendly local guy.
Greenmamba Posted August 3, 2022 Posted August 3, 2022 Found it. Attached. If you get to the point where the codes are displayed, post those codes here.DTC diagnostics codes - Outback.pdf
