Why does my check engine light keep going off?
Yes, believe it or not, a check engine light on and off intermittently could be caused by something as simple as a loose gas cap. You should try to get into the habit of checking your gas cap first anytime your check engine light appears. By tightening it, you might be able to get your check engine light to go off.
How long does it take for a check engine light to go off for a loose gas cap?
The check engine light should go off after you drive for several minutes if the light was caused by a loose gas cap. Pay attention to the dashboard after the check engine light experience. If you find that the light keeps coming on, and goes off again once you tighten the gas cap, then your gas cap is too loose.

Change ATF immediately to assure the trans is clean before chasing 4EAT issues, as many times poor shifting or “crabbing” around corners can be remedied with fresh fluid and a tube of TransX additive. Good luck. 2 people found this helpful. Update — Mine turned out to be the steering tilt sensor.
How can I Fix my Subaru Outback’s traction control?
Only ideas I’ve come up with so far are the trans fluid (which apparently didn’t fix it for you), a wheel speed sensor, or the brake pedal or steering angle sensor (apparently those affect the traction control and ABS systems as well), but I’d like to narrow it down so I don’t bother replacing things that aren’t broken.
