WIF warning while driving in water
Today I was on the beach and I had to drive through some standing water about 4 inches deep. I went through without a problem and noticed my WIC light came on. I unplugged the sensor, drained the filter(which had no water) and drove home. On the way home the light went off, I didn't experience any limp mode, etc... Just thought I'd share my experience. Scared the ***** out of me!

Worst part is now your trucks computer has a WIF recorded event that will be forever logged. It really sucks that you didn't actually have any water in the fuel but the truck says you did at some point.
It's good you had no water but bad that its recorded, for warranty work on the fuel system.
