CEL, Cruise blinking, Err5

2007 Subaru Outback 2.5i...
I was stuck in snow and rocking car back/forth. When I finally got out the
Check Engine Light came on, the green cruise control light was steady
blinking and the odometer showed ERR 5. I re-started the car 6 times and now
the lights are back to normal. Should this still be checked or is it OK to
just drive normally and see if the lights remain OK?

Thank you.

p.s. what is ERR 5 -- I do not see ERR codes in manual or online?

That's not where "error codes" show up. If you plugged a computer in to
pull the code, that's what the codes on the internet are for.

Sounds more to me like the electrical wiring that tells the dash controls
what to display got wet and shorted (easy with salty snow as on roads).

Of your CEL was on, it may still be storing a code. Go to one of those auto
stores that lets you check for free to see what the code was.
