In my 2016 I have eye sight {two cameras} up on the windshield, It tell me if a car is slowing down in front of me plus controls my cruise control Was driving one day and it just stopped working, the brake light that works with the eye sight came on . At this time the car runs and drive correctly except the eye sight message on my cluster, Had looked it up in line and tried to reset it like it says. Nothing I do resets it, Subaru wants 300. just to look at and and says if it is bad will cost 3.000 Anybody know a way to reset it

There is no simple "reset" procedure for the EyeSight system. If the system has detected a fault, it will stay disabled until the problem is repaired and the fault codes are cleared. Disconnecting the battery or following internet reset procedures usually won't fix it. Did you have a new windshield installed? Also, when you step on the brakes do the brake light work?

Did the ABS, Check Engine, or Vehicle Dynamics Control (traction control) lights come on at the same time, or is it only the EyeSight warning?

If it is just the Eyesight issue and everything else works we are goin got need to do a CAN scan, here is a video to help
