Subaru Forester: CHECK ENGINE warning light/Malfunction indicator light / If the light illuminates steadily
If the light illuminates steadily while driving
or does not turn off after the engine starts,
an emission control system malfunction
has been detected.
You should have your vehicle checked by
an authorized SUBARU dealer immediately.
NOTE
This light also illuminates when the fuel
filler cap is not tightened until it clicks.
If you have recently refueled your vehicle,
the cause of the CHECK ENGINE warning
light/malfunction indicator light illuminating
could be a loose or missing fuel filler cap.

clicks. Make sure nothing is interfering with
the sealing of the cap. Tightening the cap
will not make the CHECK ENGINE warning
light turn off immediately. It may take
several driving trips. If the light does not
turn off, take your vehicle to your authorized
SUBARU dealer immediately.
If the light is blinking while driving, an
engine misfire condition has been detected

control system.
