This light generally indicates that the fuel filter has accumulated debris and needs to be replaced to maintain proper engine performance. It serves as a reminder that the filter is no longer flowing fuel as efficiently as it should.

What to do

  1. 01Check your owner's manual for the recommended maintenance interval for your fuel filter.
  2. 02Pay attention to any hesitation, stalling, or difficulty starting your engine while driving.
  3. 03Contact Miles Tech Auto to schedule an appointment for a fuel system inspection.
  4. 04Avoid running your fuel tank extremely low to prevent sediment from reaching the engine.

Other common causes

A faulty fuel pressure sensor, contaminated fuel, a failing fuel pump, or an electrical issue within the fuel system monitoring circuit.

How we check it

We will perform a fuel pressure test and inspect the fuel system for leaks or contamination.
