Hello,do post your DTC'S,(diagnostic trouble codes) and may be i can help.many modern vehicles spring up a multitude of warning icon's on the dashboard,much to the alarm of it's owner,however,often it can be as simple as a dirty wheel speed sensor,which fails to provide the necessary information to the main (ABS/TRACTION control unit) and so then will inhibit the cruise control,as naturally it's unable to ascertain road wheel speed,and also throw up the engine management light,as the braking/traction control systems unable to supply correct information to the main engine computer(ECU,OR PCM) electronic control unit/power control module. hope this helps,but please supply any further information that you can,regarding your DTC'S, that are read out,try to get a full print off,if at all possible, cheers.

    It appears that the variable valve control solenoid,is either defective,or in my estimation,it is most probably abnormal wear on the mechanical side of the engine(timing chain excessively worn,hence synchronisation of the cam/crank relationship,is beyond the mapped parameters,however,do get an auto electrician to test the solenoid,check the resistance,and if at all possible,scope the various sensors up(oscilloscope)to view live data.hope this helps, cheers.

Why does the traction control light turn on and stay on when I start the engine?

traction control and abs units both use the same wheel sensors
check for problem wires
run the fault codes to check for other areas and faults.

2006 tribeca same problem

The problem is a 7.5amp fuse in the fuse box under the hood labeled "EBR+1" or something like that. Replace that fuse and the problem should disappear.

ABS Light and Check Engine Light on, Cruise light flashing

I had this occur on my 2007 Subaru Tribeca. ABS, Traction Control, Check Engine lights were solid, Cruise Control light was blinking and "Er SS" (commonly misread as Er 55) displayed on Trip Odometer. All lights were cleared after 10 or so miles. It appears this is a Speed Sensor (SS) reading error whereby the computer notices an irregularity with the readings taken from the four wheels. Most often it is a temporary and harmless glitch and sometimes a result of debris that is impeding the sensor's reading at one of the wheels.

CEL, flashing cruise control and vehicle dynamics controll OFF lights on Subaru Tribeca

It is safe to drive your car. What happened was you have a Check engine light on indicating a problem with the emission diagnostic system. This also makes your cruise not work, and the light to blink. Take your car to your dealer at your convienence and have them diagnose it.
