Why is my cruise control light flashing on my Nissan?

I had a weird thing happen on the way home from work yesterday. I was driving home in my Nissan Murano and went to put on the cruise control, but the cruise control light just kept blinking. Why is my Nissan’s cruise control light flashing?

If the cruise control light is flashing on your Nissan, it means something is wrong and you’ll need to take your car to your mechanic for a lookover.
A blinking or flashing cruise control light could indicate your vehicle’s cruise control system has gone into fail-safe mode. That means something is functioning improperly, which could make cruise control unsafe to use. The system may even be disabled.
Possible causes behind a blinking cruise control light on a Nissan could include:
  • Cruise control system malfunction
  • High coolant temperature
  • Engine or transmission problems
  • Brake light problem
Basically, a blinking cruise control light means something is going wrong behind the scenes that needs to be checked out.
