  • Fuel Filter Warning Light

    I was travelling down the highway when the fuel filter warning light came on. So I dutifully stopped, checked the fuel filter by pumping a clean flow of fuel, and started up again. Still on. So I disconnected the negative battery terminal, waited 30 seconds and tried again. Still on. Has anyone encountered this problem?

    Hi Hughd,

    I think you are supposed to drain the water from the filter before the light will go out.

      I should have mentioned that after the first problem I actually removed the filter and checked it. It was clean, so I put it back and drained it again. Still had the warning light on, so I disconnected the battery again. Still the light persists. (Also went through the ritual of the power windows....they work)

        In that case it sounds like the sensor may be stuck.

        Should be a warranty job if its not too late.

          Just to close this one out - the dealer said the filter was clogged and replaced it. They also reset the ECU. It was a new filter (<1000km), but dirty fuel can happen at any time I suppose.

            I know this an old thread but encountered the same problem in our 2007 Deisel 120 series and managed to reset the warning light by doing the following:

            1. Disconnect top wires/plug on filter housing
            2. Turn Ignition on
            3. Plug top wires/plug back in
            4. Turn Ignition off
            5. Turn Ignition back on and start vehicle

            Hope this helps.
