2011 sti flashing cruise control light

[milehighsubie303]

Hi guys been trying to do research for a buddy of mine can't seem to find any answers. He has a 2011 STi(stock), cruise control light flashes, no check engine light, just the cruise control. He has taken it to Subaru and it comes up with no codes. I'm guessing his CEL doesn't work which causes the CCL light to turn on. Any ideas? Thanks guys!

Was the vehicle purchased pre-owned? Sounds like it has been pissed with in the past and had some different definitions written into the ROM and things arnt communicating properly.

Yea it was pre owned but we figured it out it was the brake switch.

Gotcha, I didn't see any replies to this thread and I don't like to leave a stone unturned so figured I would speak up.

Yea it's been a while since I posted this. Thanks anyways for the help. As for my code problem I couldn't get to my tuner had some crazy snow in Colorado, aside from the tactrix cable do I need to get any programs installed on my laptop to flash a map?

RomRaider or ECUFlash to write to Map to the car and you can use either RomRaider or EvoScan to datalog the car. Most OpenSource people will use ROMRaider and the definitions from there.

Word of advice though, Opensource tuning isn't as cut and dry as Cobb AccessPORT maps. Meaning with the AP you just flash and go and only certain maps work with the AP and your car. While Opensource and a Tactrix cable you could write a map that someone says is "good" so just make sure you know exactly what your are writing to your ROM.

Ok thanks man, I will probably just need it to send you the datalogs or if you send me a map. But I will keep that in mind thanks.

Not a problem man. I've just seen too many people out there send someone a map and say yeah your good and when I look at the datalogs I usually end up saying where the hell did you get your tune from.

 

[milehighsubie303]

Yea It happen to my buddy and his leggy. Thing was running really bad.

 

[TK-421]

Gives tuners like me a bad name when there are people doing that. That's why Cobb doesn't sell their pro tuner software to just anyone.

 

[milehighsubie303]

Yea and you are right because a lot of people told me not to go open source. Ou just need to find the right people

That you do
