Hi! I've owned a 2013 Tribeca for over a year now. I purchased a bluetooth OBDII reader and use Torque Lite on my android smart phone to read and understand the codes. You can also clear off logged faults. I was on the freeway this summer and got a worrisome transmission error code, checked the code, cleared it, turned my car off and back on, everything was fine. If someone recently changed your sparkplugs, they may not have re-attached something properly. You can try removing the negative/black cable off your battery for 10 seconds then re-attach it securely and see if that resets the code at all. If not, take it back to the mechanic that changed your plugs.

06 B9 tribeca.Flashing engine light,traction control and cruise lights stays on,Misfire in #1 and #6 cylinders.Changed plugs, fuel injectors, and ignition packs,also replaced the O2 sensor....HELP!!

I would be concerned that this issue is serious. Given all the parts that have been replaced already.

First get a leak down test performed to narrow down a possible cause. Both sides of the engine will require this test.

this will help determine a course of action
.
Here is a list of possible causes:
1. a plugged or restricted catalytic converter(s)
2. carbon buildup on the valves causing them to not fully close
3. issues with the active valve control system
4. less likely but possible the timing chain might have skipped

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.

Why would engine light,cruise control and abs light come on?

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.

Check engine light, cruise control light flashing,

Take the car to Autozone or similar business for a free code read with a scanner. Depending on what turns up, they will be happy to sell you any needed parts.

The check engine is on the traction control is on and the cruise control light is blinking

had the same problem a month ago. checked guide book, they said could be gas cap not closed properly, so checked that. no change. verified oil, realized had only a pint of oil left! concluded that using sportshift uses lots of oil, so will go easy on that now. its a goos suv, but not a sports car. All lights were off after a few starts the next morning. no problems since. When i went to dealer, he had no advice or idea a about that. All they know is show me the money !

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.
