Which light? The cruise control light? Or check engine light? If the check engine light is blinking stop driving the car immediately it has a serious error.

Then I’d say the cruise control itself recognizes an error and needs service. It seems this can happen on Subies that have a pending check engine code but not CEL as yet. Have the codes read, if there are any. Post them here and we’ll try and help.

A code reader that goes beyond the cheap engine code readers may be required if there is no pending engine code. That’s gonna take a dealer or a good independent shop.
