Subaru Outback (BR): If the light illuminates constantly
If the light illuminates constantly 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 lamp coming on could be a loose or missing fuel filler
cap. Remove the cap and retighten it until it clicks. Make sure nothing is interfering

trips. If the light does not turn off, take your vehicle to your authorized SUBARU
dealer immediately.
