Something has thrown a check engine light (CEL).
Best bet would be to take it to a Subaru garage that can read/scan/clear the code, take it to a dealership who can read/scan/clear the code and repair/fix what is causing the code.

Cruise control should also be disabled when a CEL is thrown.

If you can't get to a dealership or garage, I'm sure there are a few people with a data scanner that would be willing to help you find the problem.

Have a look at the workshops thread if you want to find some one close to home.

Have you got an exhaust with no tune?

His build thread mentions a pod filter of some sort.

K. No first hand experience, but I was under the impression that CEL + flashing cruise is usually emissions related. Seeing if that is the case here.

Pod filter + no tune = Lean running codes normally.
But could be something else.
