I’m out of town visiting family for the weekend and it happened about 20 minutes from my destination. Flashing dash lights and a P0700 code. Cruise, brake, and AT oil temp are flashing with a steady traction control and check engine light. Can I drive home? I’m about 60 miles away.

Had same thing on 2013 outback with 114K miles after a short drive (2 miles), no lights were on when I parked the car. The same lights you saw came on when I started the car after it sat for about 5 minutes. Drove home and let the care sit for about an hour and all except the check engine light went out. Scan showed a p700 and a p2673. Car was now running a little rough, I reset the check engine light and it now runs fine. Researching the codes indicate what could be serious transmission problems but I have not had it happen again and I have driven about 500 miles since then.

P0700 is a code that the transmission control unit sets requesting the engine control unit to turn on the check engine light.

You need to scan the transmission control unit to know what code has been set.

To answer your question I suspect it would be OK to drive the vehicle home the 60 miles BUT I would not drive on a freeway or exceed around 35 miles per hour.

Just went thru P2674 code. Drove back and forth to work for week and a half until part showed up with no issues, just higher rpm’s than normal. Replaced valve body (2 hour easy job) and everything is working great. Did not bother with “relearning” because it is behaving normally.
