anyone know why my cruise control light is flashing??? my check engine light is on too.......a buddy flashed me and the code 01420 or something like that popped up said it was the maf or some shnitz but i replaced my intake and cleaned the maf sensor and it was all good then i had a hiccup and the cel came on and the cc light is flashing and i cant use my cc im not worried about the cel but the flashing cc is making me wonder whats up? anyone???

 

you are getting the flasing CC light from the check engine light being on. Subaru made it annoying so that you would get the CE checked into and disables your cruse control.

would happen on my 05 if I triggered a CE

 

P1420
Fuel Tank Pressure Control Solenoid High Input

hope this helps

 

Is the light still flashing?

 

what exactly does that mean?? do i need a new fuel pump>?? and yes its still flashing i cleared it and it stayed off for a bout five minutes then came back on im just wondering how to fix the problem???

 

its hard to say but at the risk of stating the obvious its some where in your fuel system.

i would say start at something as simple as making sure the gas cap is tight (yes a gas cap will throw a cel) and work your way to the injectors.

 

do you think if i do a fuel system flush that would help out??

 

p1420 states that you should

1.try checking your input signal for ecm.
2.check for poor contact in ecm connector
3.check harness between fuel tank pressure control solenoid valve and ecm connector.
4.check fuel tank pressure control solenoid valve


p0456 and p0457 usually indicates a leak in the fuel system like loose gas cap,gasket for fuel pump cover is damaged,fuel filler pipe packaging damage,drain valve malfunction,purge control solenoid valve malfunction,pressure control solenoid valve malfunction.

 

^^^^how do i go about checking these things do i need to plug into anything?? and where are these things i need to check located? i know i probably sound retarded im just not used to all this computer stuffs too used to air cooled non computerized rides but im trying my best to learn so no give me too much crap thanks

Give me a call and we'll figure it out.We can check it in my garage.

 

right on brad ill do that ill talk to you a little later you da man!!!!!

 

I had that on my 05 Legacy. All I did was tighten my gas cap and the code went away. i'm not sure if its the same for the STI.
